Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar, a suspended Malaysian police officer, will face trial on December 1 and 2 after her attempt to overturn an obstruction charge was denied. The Magistrates’ Court set the trial dates following notification that the Attorney-General’s Chambers dismissed her representation[citation needed] [1].
Sheila, 38, is accused of deliberately obstructing 37-year-old Lance Corporal Malvinderjit Singh Teerath Singh during a crime prevention patrol outside a restaurant along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah in Dang Wangi. The incident allegedly took place between 8:15 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on November 4 last year [1].
She faces charges under Section 186 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of two years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to RM10,000, or both upon conviction [1].
Sheila has been suspended from her duties since June 23, 2023 [1]. Magistrate Aina Azahra said, "The full trial has been set for two days on Dec 1 and 2" [1].
The trial will convene on December 1 and continue the following day to hear the prosecution and defense arguments. No further updates have been provided as of today.
