An advertising executive in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was charged with obstructing police officers and making an obscene gesture during the motorcade of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. The accused, Joshua Chong Tien Kit, pleaded not guilty to both charges.
An advertising company account executive, Joshua Chong Tien Kit, 28, was charged today in two separate Magistrate's Courts in Kuala Lumpur for allegedly making an obscene gesture and obstructing police officers escorting Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. Chong pleaded not guilty to both charges.
The first charge alleges that Chong obstructed four police officers - Sgt Mohd Faiz, Sgt Major Francis, Cpl Fazlil, and Cpl Timotius - from carrying out their duties by intercepting the DPM's escort vehicle at a junction in Taman Tun Dr Ismail at 2 pm on February 8. This charge falls under Section 186 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment, a fine of up to RM10,000, or both upon conviction.The second charge accuses Chong of making an obscene gesture by displaying his middle finger at the same location, date, and time. This offense falls under Section 509 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum prison sentence of five years, a fine, or both upon conviction. Prosecuting officer Insp Muhammad Faiz Abu Samah and deputy public prosecutor Hench Goh proposed bail at RM5,000 and RM4,000, respectively, with one surety. Joshua's lawyer, Rajsurian Pillai, requested a lower bail, emphasizing that his client is single, not a flight risk, and has no prior criminal record. Pillai argued that the victims in this case are police officers and escorts for Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, making it unlikely that Chong would interfere with any witnesses or victims
