In a recent court hearing at the Magistrate's Court, a 22-year-old unemployed man found himself facing a prison sentence after pleading guilty to the theft of coins from another man's possession just last week.
Amir Nurhakim Abd Khalid has been sentenced to a 14-day imprisonment term, with the charges against Amir Nurhakim revolved around his dishonest possession of stolen property, specifically a red-colored cut bottle containing numerous coins that belonged to a 30-year-old man. The alleged offense took place at a residential quarter in Pagoh, where the incident occurred at 11:45 AM on October 2nd.
The charge brought against Amir Nurhakim was made under Section 411 of the Penal Code, which stipulates a potential penalty of imprisonment for up to five years, a fine, or both upon conviction.
