On April 20, a food rider was charged with using criminal force with the aim to offend the modesty of an Indonesian lady in Penang. The 28-year-old entered the plea in front of Nur Melati Diana Abdul Wahab, a magistrate.

He is accused of committing criminal violence by touching the person’s breasts with the intention of violating the honour of the Indonesian woman. After hearing the allegations against him from Deputy Public Prosecutor Nazri Abdul Rahim, pleaded guilty.

According to the accusation, the complainant was riding a motorbike near the Jalan Bukit Gambir traffic signal towards Sungai Nibong.

This is when the accused, who was also riding a motorcycle and dressed in work clothes, approached from behind and blocked the victim’s ride.
