Kota Kinabalu: A 42-year-old man, who stole a motorcycle, was jailed 14 months and fined RM600 or one month jail by the Magistrate’s Court, Friday.
Adnan Gemok pleaded guilty before Magistrate Afiq Agoes to committing the offence at 8.30pm on May 30 near a field at Indah Permai in Sepanggar.
Adnan, unrepresented, requested for a lenient sentence by saying that he was a divorcee and has four children who were under the care of his ageing father.
Inspector Lim Swee Beng applied for an adequate sentence.
Adnan was charged under Section 379A of the Penal Code which carries a jail term of between six months and seven years or fine or both, upon conviction.
In another case, a man was charged with disorderly conduct at a police station.
Asher Abdul Kadir pleaded not guilty to committing the offence at the counter of the Karamunsing police station here at 5.45pm on Aug 6.
He was charged under Section 90 of the Police Act 1967, which provides for a fine of up to RM500 or up to six months jail or both, upon conviction.
The prosecution objected bail on the grounds that Asher has six conviction records, including drugs and sexual offence and submitted that he was a threat to the society.
The court set Sept 30 for pre-trial case management (PTCM) and ordered Asher to be remanded further.
Meanwhile, a man claimed trial to having a fake MyKad.
Johan Ibrahim was accused of having the fake MyKad bearing the serial number of 860101126653 at 4.55pm on June 10.
He was charged under Section 25(1)(e) of the National Registration Regulation, which carries a jail term of up to three years or fine, upon conviction.
Afiq set Oct 1 for PTCM and offered no bail to Johan as he has no valid identification document.
