KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — A police escort for a VIP was fined RM1,000 by the Magistrate’s Court here today after he pleaded guilty to punching an e-hailing driver with disabilities (OKU) who was waiting for his passenger in a hotel lobby last May.

Magistrate Farah Nabihah Muhamad Dan handed down the sentence to Lance Corporal Muhammad Taufik Ismail, 32, who admitted to the assault.

“The court imposes a fine of RM1,000, or in default, a 20-day jail term,” said Farah Nabihah.

The accused was charged with voluntarily causing hurt to Ong Ing Keong, 47, at around 11.40 am on May 28, outside a hotel lobby in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.

The charge framed under Section 323 of the Penal Code, provides for a prison term of up to one year, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both, upon conviction. — Bernama
