Penang Lift Spitter Fined Just RM400

BEST FBKL: He should have been charged under a more harsher act as it was done during this pandemic. He is damn lucky.

A snooker outlet worker was slapped with a RM400 fine by the Balik Pulau magistrate’s court on Tuesday, March 17, after he pleaded guilty to spitting on the buttons of an elevator at his apartment in Bayan Lepas on Sunday.

Ang Hock Beng, 63, clad in a red polo T-shirt and carrying a sling bag, appeared tired throughout the proceeding before magistrate Nur Azzuin Abdul Moati. He was charged with intentionally spitting on the lift buttons at the Idaman Melur Apartment in Bayan Lepas on March 15 at 11.45am, which could possibly result in public harm and cause nuisance to the residents living there.
