Four police corporals pleaded not guilty to extorting RM10,000 from salesman Danny Goh Ngee Guan by allegedly causing him to fear a RM50,000 fine. The alleged extortion occurred at an apartment on Jalan Kepong, Sentul at noon on December 23, 2023 [1, 2]. The accused corporals are Mohd Al Hafis Sairudin (43), Mohd Azmi Mohd Ghozali (40), Muhamad Azlan Zakaria (39), and Muhammad Hanif Abdul Talib (30) [1, 2]. They face charges under Section 384 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which carry a maximum punishment of 10 years in jail, a fine, whipping, or any combination of these penalties upon conviction [1, 2]. Bail was set at RM8,000 each, with two sureties required. Conditions include reporting monthly to the police station and refraining from disturbing witnesses or the victim until the case concludes [1, 2]. The court fixed July 8, 2026, for the next mention of the extortion case [1, 2].
Separately, 55-year-old taxi driver Mohd Faris Ali pleaded not guilty to trafficking 748.59 grams of cannabis at Jalan 3/149J, Bandar Baru Seri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur on January 23, 2025, around 5 pm [3, 4]. He faces charges under Section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Conviction under Section 39B(2) can result in the death penalty or life imprisonment, and at least 12 strokes of the cane if not sentenced to death [3, 4]. Because the offence meets High Court jurisdiction, the case was transferred from the magistrate's court to the High Court [3]. Mohd Faris Ali was unrepresented at the plea hearing. The Deputy Public Prosecutor for the case is Mohamad Shahrizzat Amadan [3, 4]. The next court mention for the cannabis trafficking case is scheduled for July 20, 2026, to allow time for the appointment of a defense counsel [3, 4].
