KUALA LUMPUR:
The sister of the man who attacked the Ulu Tiram police station in May, which saw two police officers killed and another injured, pleaded not guilty at the High Court to charges of failing to report violent ideology.

Mariah Radin Imran, 19, a kuih seller, claimed trial after the charges were read out before Justice K Muniandy, who set Jan 9 for case management.

She is accused of intentionally failing to provide any information related to crimes linked to violent ideology at a house in Kampung Sungai Tiram, Johor Bahru, between April 2017 and May 17 this year.

The charge under Section 130M of the Penal Code, carries a penalty of up to seven years imprisonment, a fine, or both, upon conviction.

Deputy public prosecutor Mustaffa P Kunyalam appeared for the prosecution, while Mariah was represented by lawyer Arief Firdaus Ashikin.

On Sept 24, the Johor Bahru sessions court ordered the transfer of the cases involving five family members of the Ulu Tiram police station attacker to the High Court. They are facing nine separate terrorism-related charges.

The five are the attacker’s father, Radin Imran Radin Yassin, 62; mother, Rosna Jantan, 59; and his three siblings – Radin Romyullah Radin Imran, 34; Farhah Sobrina Radin Imran, 23; and Mariah.
