Appeals Court acquits youth in Low Yat Plaza mobile phone theft case
Thursday, 1 Mar 2018
PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has acquitted and discharged a 25-year-old man on a charge of stealing a mobile phone at Low Yat Plaza in 2015.
A three-man panel comprising Justices Mohtarudin Baki, Yaacob Md Sam and Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil allowed Shahrul Anuar Abdul Aziz’s appeal to set aside his conviction and the four months’ imprisonment and RM1,000 fine imposed on him by a magistrate’s court.
Justice Mohtarudin, who chaired the panel, said it was the court’s view that Shahrul Anuar’s appeal had merits as the Court of Appeal found that the magistrate had committed a serious misdirection of law tantamount to a miscarriage of justice.
“If you have done it, you should repent and if you did not, it’s a test from God,” Justice Mohtarudin told Shahrul Anuar.
He said the prosecution’s cross-appeal against the inadequacy of the jail sentence was also nullified since Shahrul Anuar’s appeal had been allowed.
On May 24, 2016, Shahrul Anuar was found guilty by a magistrate’s court and was sentenced to four months’ jail and fined RM1,000 for stealing the phone which was under the care of shopkeeper See Ming Ho at Techasia Boutique, Low Yat Plaza in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.
His appeal against conviction and sentence was dismissed by the High Court on April 5, last year.
Shahrul Anuar’s lawyer Datuk Shaharudin Ali told the court that his client had nothing to do with the purported commotion at Low Yat Plaza, adding that the incident was created by a different person and his client was caught in between.

Shahrul Anuar dibebas tuduhan curi telefon di Low Yat
PUTRAJAYA, 1 Mac ― Mahkamah Rayuan hari ini melepaskan dan membebaskan seorang pemuda berumur 25 tahun daripada pertuduhan mencuri sebuah telefon bimbit di Plaza Low Yat pada 2015.
Panel tiga hakim terdiri daripada Datuk Wira Mohtarudin Baki, Datuk Yaacob Md Sam dan Datuk Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil membenarkan rayuan Shahrul Anuar Abdul Aziz untuk mengetepikan sabitan terhadapnya iaitu penjara empat bulan dan denda RM1,000 yang dijatuhi Mahkamah Majistret.
Hakim Mohtarudin yang mempengerusikan panel itu berkata mahkamah berpandangan bahawa rayuan Shahrul Anuar mempunyai merit oleh kerana mahkamah (Mahkamah Rayuan) mendapati majistret melakukan salah arah undang-undang serius yang boleh membawa kepada salah laksana keadilan.
“Kalau awak buat…taubat, kalau tak buat ini, dugaan Allah,” kata Mohtarudin kepada Shahrul Anuar.
Mohtarudin berkata rayuan balas pendakwaan terhadap kekurangan hukuman penjara juga dibatalkan memandangkan rayuan Shahrul Anuar telah dibenarkan.

Youth in Low Yat phone theft case loses appeal
.
KUALA LUMPUR: A youth who was found guilty of stealing a RM800 smartphone at Low Yat Plaza two years ago, failed in his appeal to set aside his conviction for theft.
High Court Judicial Commissioner Ab Karim Ab Rahman ruled that the Magistrate’s Court did not make any error in finding Shahrul Anuar Abdul Aziz guilty of stealing the phone.
“The accused had failed to raise a reasonable doubt to the prosecution’s case.
“Therefore, the court finds him guilty under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft instead of Section 380, which was the original charge,” he said.
Shahrul initially claimed trial on July 14, 2015, under Section 380 for phone theft.
Section 380 relates to any theft committed inside a building premise.
Karim also dismissed the prosecution’s appeal to increase Shahrul’s 4-month jail sentence.
“The Magistrate’s decision to impose a jail term of four months is sufficient,” he added.
Karim allowed lawyer Shaharudin Ali, representing Shahrul, a stay of execution on the jail sentence pending his final appeal at the Court of Appeal.
The case had originated from the Magistrate’s Court, and the final avenue for Shahrul to beat his charge will be at the appeals court.
Last year, he was jailed four months and fined RM1,000 by the Magistrate’s Court for stealing a Lenovo smartphone at Low Yat Plaza.
Shahrul paid his RM1,000 fine.

On May 24, Shahrul Anuar was jailed for four months and fined RM1,000 by the Magistrate’s Court in Kuala Lumpur after being found guilty of stealing a mobile phone at Low Yat Plaza.
However, the court allowed a stay of execution pending appeal at the High Court.
Shahrul Anuar was also fined RM2,000 by the Magistrate’s Court on Feb 12 after pleading guilty to using methamphetamine on July 12 last year.

Low Yat phone thief gets discharge for assault
An unemployed man who was previously jailed and fined for stealing a mobile phone at Low Yat Plaza, was today, together with a friend, given a discharge not amounting to acquittal by the Magistrate’s Court to a charge of injuring a mechanic in February this year.
Magistrate Nur’Aminahtul Mardiah Md Nor made the decision after the prosecution’s second witness, Hamizan Hamzah, the victim, decided not to pursue the case against Shahrul Anuar Abdul Aziz, 23, and his friend Muhammad Shameer Zaidi, 19.
The victim, a mechanic, who was supposed to testify on the second day of the trial, told the court today that he decided against giving evidence and wanted to stop pursuing the case.
“I don’t want to face the hassle of attending court (for trial) and bothering my family and no one forced me to change my mind on testifying today,” he said.
Deputy public prosecutor Siti Hajar Mohd Ashif said the prosecution was ready to proceed with the trial, but it was up to the court’s discretion to decide.

Youth in Low Yat phone theft case convicted, gets jail sentence

The Magistrate’s Court in Kuala Lumpur today convicted the 23-year-old youth who was charged with stealing a mobile phone at Low Yat Plaza last year.

She said this in rejecting an earlier application from counsel Shaharudin Ali, who appeared for Shahrul Anuar, for the court to grant him a good behaviour bond under Section 294 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Image in Low Yat theft footage resembles suspect, court told
The image of a man in dark sunglasses captured in compact disc footage is similar in likeness to the suspect, the Magistrate’s Court was told today in the Low Yat Plaza handphone theft case.
Audio-video analyst ASP Fauziah Che Mat, from the police forensics lab in Cheras, told the court, the finding was obtained after analysing five images of the 54 minutes 34 seconds duration CD recording on the theft incident.
“Based on the face in the image, I find it very similar to the individual who is in the dock,” she said during examination-in-chief by deputy public prosecutor S Malini Anne here today.
Fauziah is the eighth prosecution witness to testify in the trial of unemployed Shahrul Anuar Abdul Aziz, 22, who allegedly stole a mobile phone worth RM800 from Techasia Boutique in a shopping centre in Bukit Bintang at 4.47pm on July 11, last year.
Fauziah said she received orders to analyse the CD recording from Investigating Officer Inspector E Denis Venoth on July 13 last year, as the images of the suspect wearing sunglasses contained in the CD recording appeared clearer.
“I viewed the footage and found the images required by the investigating officer in the recording.
“I then ‘captured’ the images of five movements and used the ‘video investigator’ software to improve the quality of the image so that it was clearer,” she said.
There was no display of date and time on the CD recordings, she added.

Accused of lying in Low Yat unrest, IGP says criminal suspects will say anything to escape trouble
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 ― Suspected criminals will say just about anything to get themselves out of hot water, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said today after he was accused of lying about the cause of the weekend riots at Low Yat Plaza here.
He was responding to an allegation yesterday by a lawyer for a suspect nabbed in connection with the bloody brawls and vandalism at the popular tech mall in the city that left at least five injured.
“People who are arrested, they will say anything to get themselves out of it. If we want to believe someone who has been accused and tested positive to have drugs in his urine, then go ahead and believe.
“Everything they will say they are in the right and they are not wrong, the police are the ones who are wrong,” he said during the Ops Selamat Campaign press conference at the Gombak Toll Plaza today.
He added that the suspect’s lawyer, Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz, may also have ulterior motives for accusing the IGP of lying.
“The lawyer also has alternate intentions, bad intentions. A smart lawyer wouldn’t do that,” he said.
