Man drew laughter in court when he tries to change plea
KUALA LUMPUR: Trader Chia Mun Seng drew laughter at the magistrates court
today when he tried changing his plea to throwing a stone that shattered a car's
rear windscreen. He initially pleaded guilty to committing the offence at Jalan
Jelawah, Lorong Ikan Emas, Batu 3 1/2 in Cheras around 7am on Oct 5. Later
when the facts of the case were being read to Chia, 48, by a court interpreter, he
changed his mind and wanted to plead not guilty by saying 'Tak' (No). When the
interpreter asked him again whether he wished to plead guilty or claim trial, he
answered guilty, which drew laughter in court while other accused persons,
sitting in the dock waiting for their cases to be called, shook their heads in
disbelief. Magistrate Nur Azura Murah then asked Chia whether he wanted to
say anything in mitigation. He just shook his head and asked for a lenient
sentence. Assistant Superintendent Nom Phot Prackdit, prosecuting, pressed for
a stiff penalty as the punishment should befit the crime. Nur Azura fined Chia
RM1,000 and ordered him to serve two months jail if he did not pay the fine.

Rizalman had 'no sexual intent', New Zealand court told
KUALA LUMPUR: A Wellington court was today told that there was no sexual
intent when former Malaysian Embassy staff member Muhammad Rizalman
Ismail entered a woman's apartment there without any trousers and underwear
in May last year. The court, the New Zealand Herald reported, debated
Rizalman's use of synthetic cannabis, legal highs and alcohol, which may have
caused the mental state surrounding his alleged forced entry into Tania
Billingsley's apartment that day. The court was also told by defence lawyer Dr
Donald Stevens that evidence Rizalman, 39, had defecated was found near the
door at the entrance to the apartment, suggesting that he had entered the
apartment to clean himself. Rizalman had told the court that he suffered from

diarrhoea and entered Billingsley's house to clean himself, having followed her
after believing she had given him signals to do so after they met at a strip club.
Dr Stevens also disputed facts raised by Crown prosecutor Grant Burston that
there was sexual motivation behind Rizalman's actions, by stating he had not left
the apartment immediately after holding Billingsley by her shoulders, allegedly
to calm her down. This was debated with suggestions of Rizalman's mental state
and his belief in black magic, while his defecating at her doorstep was also
alleged to be to cast a spell on Billingsley. The court was also given an account of
Rizalman's deteriorating behaviour leading up to the incident, with his wife also
said to be worried about his mental state, while a colonel at the defence attache
in Wellington also considering sending him home before the incident. Dr Stevens
argued that there was no grounds to believe Rizalman had wanted to cast a spell
by defacating outside Billingsley's house and that should he have had sexual
intentions, he could have easily overpowered her instead of allowing himself to
be pushed back by her, considering his military training. Rizalman was an
assistant to the defence attache at the Malaysian Embassy in Wellington, where
he had been posted in 2013. His case had raised a diplomatic controversy after a
mix-up by the New Zealand Department of Foreign Affairs allowed him to slip
past and return to Malaysia despite facing charges last year. Upon extradition
and facing his charges in court, Rizalman had earlier cited stress at work as the
reason for the depreciation of his behaviour and mental state. He was also
alleged to be a regular visitor to a strip club in the days leading up to the
incident, but had told the court that he was there on the day the incident
occured "to listen to music" to relieve his stress.
