PETALING JAYA: A woman pleaded not guilty in the Kuala Lumpur sessions court today to a charge of attempting to murder a police officer by ramming her car into him and causing injury earlier this month.
Cham Shan Jer, 31, was accused of ramming her car into Fahrulradi Sabran at Jalan Usahawan 6, Setapak, at about 11.15pm on Aug 1, Bernama reported.
She was charged under Section 307 of the Penal Code, which provides for up to 10 years’ imprisonment and a fine, and up to 20 years’ jail if the act causes injury.
Deputy public prosecutor Ikhwan Nasir objected to bail, citing the seriousness of the case involving an alleged attempt to kill a police officer.
Defence counsel Nurul Fatihah Abdul Ghani requested the minimum bail amount, saying her client, a single mother of three, also cares for her elderly parents.
Judge Azrol Abdullah denied bail and fixed Sept 23 for case mention and submission of documents.
