Tycoon to defend charge of injuring Dr M
KOTA BARU: The Magistrate's Court here on Monday ordered businessman Datuk Nik Sapeia Nik Yusoff to make his defence on a charge of causing hurt to former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and three other people two years ago.
Magistrate Azman Mustapha, in making the order, said the prosecution had made out a prima facie case against Nik Sapeia, 53, who is charged under Section 324 of the Penal Code for injuring them by spraying a substance which posed a danger to the body when inhaled.
Azman set Dec 15 to 19 for the hearing.
If convicted, Nik Sapeia is liable to a maximum of three years jail, or a fine, or whipping, or any two of the penalties.
The offence was allegedly committed at the Sultan Ismail Petra Airport in Pengkalan Chepa here at 11 am on July 28 2006.
Deputy Public Prosecutors Raja Rozela Raja Toran and Khairul Anuar Wahab appeared for the prosecution while Nik Sapeia was represented by Zainal Abidin Mustaffa, Mohd Ilyas Mohd Noor and Datuk Abdul Aziz Nawi. -- Bernama
