THE Ampang magistrates’ court today revoked bail orders issued against Sungai Besar Umno chief Jamal Md Yunos, who is charged with two counts of trespassing on two gambling premises in Taman Kosas, Kuala Lumpur, two years ago.

Magistrates Muhamad Firdaus Sadina Ali and Haslinda A. Raof allowed an application by the prosecution, comprising deputy public prosecutors Nurhashimah Hashim and Raihanah Abd Razak, to withdraw the bail orders of RM3,000 each with one surety.

The petition to withdraw the bail orders was filed due to fears Jamal would flee again.

Following this, the court revoked the bail orders for both trespassing offences, and for the case of fleeing a hospital while under police custody. The order to deny Jamal bail was retained.

He will remain in Sg Buloh Prison until his cases are completed.

On the trespassing offences, he was charged along with four others still at large with intruding into Happy Toys Shop at No. 23, Jalan Kosas 1/2, Taman Kosas.

He was charged with two others, one of whom remains at large, with intruding into Starcom Trading and Services at No. 23 & 25, Jalan Kosas 13 in the same area.

Both offences were allegedly committed between 3.30pm and 3.40pm on December 29, 2016.

Jamal was charged under Section 448 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same code. It carries a maximum jail sentence of three years, a fine of up to RM5,000, or both, upon conviction.

He was also charged with escaping police custody at the Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital, allegedly between 2pm and 3pm on May 25. He was charged under Section 224 of the Penal Code, which carries a two-year jail term, a fine, or both, upon conviction.

The court fixed August 10 for mention of all three cases. Jamal, who was represented by lawyer Khairul Anuar Kashim, pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, who heads the defence, told reporters that he will file a judicial review on the orders at the Shah Alam High Court tomorrow. – Bernama, July 30, 2018.
