PPIM Activists to Seek Attorney-General's Review of Trespassing and Mischief Charges

Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) activists Muhamad Yusof Azmi and Ali Salimin intend to submit a representation to the Attorney-General's Chambers requesting a review of the trespassing and mischief charges filed against them. Their legal counsel informed the Magistrate's Court of this plan during a mention of the case. The court has since scheduled January 23 of the following year for further mention and case management.
Plan to Petition Attorney-General's Chambers

The intention to seek a review of the charges was conveyed to the Magistrate's Court by the legal representative for Muhamad Yusof and Ali. The lawyer stated that he requires time to thoroughly examine the case's documentation and obtain specific instructions from his clients regarding the proposed representation to the Attorney-General's Chambers. This move indicates a strategic effort to challenge the existing charges through a higher legal authority.
Charges and Plea

Muhamad Yusof, identified as the director of the PPIM Special Action Unit, and Ali, the unit's operations head, have both pleaded not guilty to the charges. These charges stem from an incident on July 10, where they allegedly conspired to commit mischief by breaking a padlock on a vehicle store owned by AGR Auto Trade Sdn Bhd. They are also facing a separate charge for criminal trespassing into the same premises.
Potential Penalties

The charge of conspiracy to commit mischief falls under Section 427 of the Penal Code, read in conjunction with Section 109. Conviction under this section could result in a prison sentence of up to five years, a fine, or a combination of both. The criminal trespassing charge, under Section 447 of the Penal Code, carries a maximum penalty of three months imprisonment, a fine of up to RM3,000, or both, if found guilty.
