Seven other men and a woman pleaded not guilty and were allowed RM1,500 bail each pending their trial.

They were charged with being members of an unlawful assembly with the intent to fight and committing the offence of rioting at 2.30am on Nov 23 in front of the Queens Waterfront condominium and commercial centre in Persiaran Bayan Indah, Bayan Lepas.

Those who pleaded not guilty: Ammar Ghani, 19; Aiman Ibrahim, 19; Aszaifudin Hamid Mohaideen, 19; Nur Zuhairi Noordin, 19; Adzlie Hakim Nasir, 19; Fahrein Addenan, 19; Alyssa Sofieya Mazlan, 19; and Nor Isma Haikal Nor Ismadi, 20.
