KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27 — The son of a singer from a popular 90s band and his friend pleaded not guilty at the Ampang Magistrate’s Court today to charges of stealing a luxury car belonging to a businesswoman two weeks ago.
The singer’s son Norqyyum Zainori, 29, Mohd Aliff Naim Mohd Azmir, 38, and another suspect still at large were charged with stealing a Ferrari worth RM300,000.
The car belonged to a 53-year-old businesswoman and was taken from a car wash on Jalan Hillview, Hulu Kelang, at 11.08am on November 17.
They were charged under Section 379A of the Penal Code, which carries a prison term of between one and seven years, as well as a possible fine upon conviction.
