Duo plead not guilty to impersonating palace officials

PETALING JAYA: Two men have claimed trial to a charge of allegedly impersonating palace officials to escape the police.

Siblings Pong Ah Choy, 44, and Pong Kim Seng, 41, pleaded not guilty at the magistrate’s court on Friday to attempting to fool a police officer by flashing a yellow card, supposedly from the Kelantan palace.

The two men are charged with having committed the offence on Feb 24 at a Shell petrol station along Maju Jaya, Puchong.

The duo are alleged to have flashed a yellow card labelled “Pertubuhan Keturunan Raja Kelantan Asal” (Kelantan Royal Family Organisation) when stopped by Lance Corporal Mohd Yusof Nor.

The card is said to have borne the names and the IC number of the brothers.

DPP N. Sivashangari said the pair had committed offence under Section 416 of the Penal Code for cheating by personation.

Under Section 471, if found guilty, restaurant worker Ah Choy and Kim Seng, a quarry worker, will be liable to a punishment of five years’ jail or a fine or both.

Magistrate Mohd Azali Ibrahim set bail at RM1,500 for each of the accused and fixed Apr 12 for mention.
