An e-hailing driver has claimed trial at the Johor Bahru Magistrates’ Court to a charge of sexually harassing a female passenger.
Choo Chee Hong, 26, who is also a teacher, pleaded not guilty to a charge of using criminal force with intent to outrage modesty. The alleged offence was said to have taken place on February 1 in Tanjung Puteri.
Deputy public prosecutor Nurul Syafiqah Sha’ari proposed bail at RM10,000. However, defence counsel Mark Jeyakumar requested a lower sum, informing the court that his client earns RM3,000 a month.
The magistrate set bail at RM2,000 and fixed March 13 for case management.
