Sentencing in 'hotpot Datuk' case delayed due to new developments


PETALING JAYA: The sentencing in the case of two company directors, including a "Datuk" who was filmed, in a viral video, assaulting a couple at a hotpot restaurant has been pushed to May due to a new development in the case.

The Magistrate’s Court heard that the restaurant owner had retracted a police report against Datuk Tan Wai Khan, 42, who had previously claimed trial to a charge of mischief under Section 427 of the Penal Code.
