Man slashed in drunken brawl in Nilai
KUALA LUMPUR: A man was seriously injured after he was believed to have been slashed and beaten during a drunken brawl involving a group of men in Bandar Baru Nilai early this morning. Nilai district police chief Superintendent Abdul Malik Hasim said they received a report about the incident at 6.08am. "The complaint was lodged by a medical officer from Sultan Idris Shah Hospital in Serdang, Selangor, who had treated a local man in his 30s who arrived with blood on his face and body. "The victim was immediately admitted to the Red Zone of the Emergency Department for urgent treatment," he said in a statement. Investigations by the district police headquarters' Criminal Investigation Department found that the victim had been involved in an altercation in front of a fast-food outlet in Bandar Baru Nilai. "The victim is believed to have been attacked with a parang and a wooden stick by several unidentified individuals. "He is currently in stable condition, with injuries to his head and legs," he said. Preliminary investigations found that the fight did not involve elements of gangsterism, personal vendettas or previous conflicts. "It is believed to have been triggered by a spontaneous altercation while all parties involved were intoxicated. "This led to a misunderstanding, provocation and a physical fight," he said. He said the case is being investigated under Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting with weapons, Section 427 for mischief and causing damage, and Section 326 for voluntarily causing grievous hurt with a weapon.

Court acquits chicken seller charged with assaulting man with golf club in Bau
During the trial, Abdul Malek's counsel Arthur Liang Dawat argued that the reliability of the identification made by the victim, as well as another eyewitness, was highly questionable. – Photo by Chimon Upon KUCHING (June 12): The Sessions Court here today discharged and acquitted a man from a charge of assaulting another man with a golf club three years ago. Judge Iris Awen Jon made the ruling after finding that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case against Abdul Malek Faisal Kamil, 38, at the end of the prosecution's case. Abdul Malek, who sells live chickens, was charged with intentionally causing grievous hurt to a now 28-year-old man in Kampung Bidi, Krokong, Bau at around 10am on Sept 25, 2022. The charge was framed under Section 326 of the Penal Code, which provides imprisonment for up to 20 years and may also include a fine or whipping, upon conviction. It was understood that during the incident, the victim was waiting for a friend – also a witness in the case – when he was approached by three unidentified men. One of the men reportedly struck the victim with a golf club, resulting in a skull fracture and internal brain bleeding that required surgery on Sept 27, 2022. During the trial, Abdul Malek's counsel Arthur Liang Dawat argued that the reliability of the identification made by the victim, as well as another eyewitness, was highly questionable. He contended that their testimonies were unclear and inconsistent, thereby casting serious doubt on the accuracy of the identification. The lawyer further submitted that the identity of the individual who actually struck the victim with the golf club remained uncertain. A total of six prosecution witnesses were called to testify during the trial. The case was prosecuted by Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohamad Aiman Mutallib Mohamad Shariff. acquitted assault Bau gold club
