A 26-year-old man, Ahmad Abu Bakar, was fined RM5,000 today for splashing red paint inside a hair salon at a mall last Saturday. Ahmad pleaded guilty in court. He threw a plastic container filled with red paint into the salon with another person, who is still missing. A customer was partially splashed with the paint, and some salon furniture was damaged.
The incident happened on October 11 at 11:50 am. Ahmad was charged under Section 427 of the Penal Code for causing damage.
