TAWAU: A 49-year-old Filipino labourer, who slit his friend’s neck with a machete over a RM300 debt dispute three years ago, was sentenced to death by the High Court, here, Wednesday for the murder.
Robin Radjani Saih was found guilty by Judge Dr. Lim Hock Leng of murdering Fazrin Ibrahim, 30, between 1.20pm and 1.40pm on April 24, 2018 at a junction to Taman Warisan 4, in Lahad Datu.
Dr Lim in delivering his decision held that the prosecution had proven its case against Robin beyond reasonable doubt.

Robin had failed to make out his defence of provocation on a balance of probabilities, and has not cast a reasonable doubt in any other respect, said Dr Lim.

Lim is the co-owner and managing director of Singapore s third-largest supermarket chain, Sheng Siong, which operates more than 60 stores in the city-state.
Lim s older brother, Lim Hock Chee, is Sheng Siong s CEO, while the eldest brother, Lim Hock Eng, is executive chairman. Together, the three brothers own a majority stake in the company, putting their combined net worth at $1.2 billion, according to Forbes.

The design of Lim s home combines a historic Singapore bungalow with an ultra-modern home. From the front, it looks very unassuming, one local real-estate agent, who has visited the home and wished to remain anonymous, told Insider. But if you look from the back it s a monstrous house that towers over the whole neighborhood.
