PETALING JAYA: The sentencing in the case of two company directors, including a Datuk who was filmed, in a viral video, assaulting a couple at a hotpot restaurant has been pushed to May due to a new development in the case.
The Magistrate’s Court heard that the restaurant owner had retracted a police report against Datuk Tan Wai Khan, 42, who had previously claimed trial to a charge of mischief under Section 427 of the Penal Code.
Tan s lawyer Datuk Suraj Singh, who represented Tan and co-accused Ang Mow Loong, 40, informed the court that the defence received information that the restaurant owner made the retraction for the particular offence.
