Chinese national fined RM3,000 over attempted wallet theft at Penang airport

A 55-year-old Chinese national, Chen Bangjun, was fined RM3,000 by the Magistrate's Court in Balik Pulau for attempting to steal a wallet from a man's backpack at Penang International Airport.

Chen pleaded guilty to the offence, which occurred on September 17, and was charged under Section 379, read together with Section 511 of the Penal Code, covering attempted theft.

The court considered the attempted nature of the crime and Chen's remorse before imposing the fine, with a three-month imprisonment term as a default penalty.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 — A 55-year-old Chinese national was fined RM3,000 today after pleading guilty to attempting to steal a wallet from a man’s backpack at Penang International Airport last week, Harian Metro reported.

Chen Bangjun entered the plea at the Magistrate’s Court in Balik Pulau after the charge was read to him in Mandarin before Magistrate Chia Huey Ting.

According to the charge, Chen attempted to steal the wallet from a man’s backpack at the airport in Bayan Lepas between 9.25am and 10am on September 17.

He was charged under Section 379 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 511, which covers attempts to commit offences.

Section 379 provides for a jail term of up to seven years, a fine, or both upon conviction for theft.

Under Section 511, the jail term for an attempted offence may not exceed half the maximum imprisonment prescribed for the offence.

Deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Sofi Jaafar urged the court to impose an appropriate sentence as a deterrent.

Defence lawyer Teh Yi Kai appealed for a lighter sentence, saying Chen was unemployed and had expressed remorse after spending nine days in remand.

“As this was an attempted theft, no actual loss was reported, and the accused admitted that he acted out of greed,” Teh told the court.

The court fined Chen RM3,000, in default of which he would serve three months in prison.

一名55岁的中国公民陈邦军因在槟城国际机场试图从一名男子的背包中偷窃钱包，被峇都丁宜地方法庭罚款3000令吉。

陈某承认了9月17日发生的罪行，并被控违反刑法第379条和第511条，即企图盗窃罪。

法院考虑到犯罪未遂的性质以及陈某的悔意，在判处罚款之前，以三个月监禁作为不予处罚的刑罚。

吉隆坡，9月25日讯——据《每日都会报》报道，一名55岁的中国公民今天承认上周在槟城国际机场试图从一名男子的背包中偷窃钱包，被罚款3000令吉。

陈邦俊在峇六拜地方法庭被控告后，向法官谢慧婷用中文宣读了控状，并表示认罪。

根据指控，陈某于9月17日上午9点25分至10点之间在峇六拜机场试图从一名男子的背包中偷走钱包。

他被控违反《刑法》第 379 条和第 511 条，这两条规定了企图犯罪的行为。

第 379 条规定，盗窃罪可判处最高七年监禁、罚款或两者并罚。

根据第 511 条规定，对未遂犯罪的监禁刑期不得超过该罪行规定最高刑期的一半。

副检察官穆罕默德·索菲·贾法尔敦促法庭判处适当的刑罚，以起到威慑作用。

辩护律师郑义凯请求法官从轻发落，称陈某无业，且在被拘留九天后已表示悔过。

“由于这是一起盗窃未遂案，没有造成实际损失，被告也承认自己是出于贪婪而作案，”郑先生告诉法庭。

法庭判处陈某罚款3000令吉，若不缴纳罚款，则需入狱服刑三个月。
