KUALA LUMPUR: A Vietnamese man has been fined RM4,000, in default two months' jail, by the Ampang Magistrate's Court here for damaging the side mirror of an ehailing driver's car.
Magistrate Amalina Basirah Md Top meted out the fine on Vo Dinh Dong, 40, who pleaded guilty to the charge of committing mischief on Tuesday (Oct 15).
He was charged with damaging the left side mirror of the car belonging to S. Gobikannan, 50, in the basement area of a condominium in Ampang here at 12.40am on Oct 6.
The charge, under Section 426 of the Penal Code, provides imprisonment for up to three months or a fine or both upon conviction.
According to the facts of the case, Gobikannan, who is an ehailing driver, picked up the man and a woman from Jalan Sultan Ismail.
