Lim Teck Hong pleaded guilty before Magistrate Ling Hui Chuan after he was charged with committing mischief under Section 427 of the Penal Code. The Section provides for a jail term of between one and five years, or a fine, or both, upon conviction. Lim committed the offence at 9pm on Dec 2 at the hotel. Based on the facts of the case, a hotel employee discovered that a flowerpot placed on the hotel’s sidewalk had fallen over and shattered. A review of closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage revealed a man wearing a grey shirt kicking the flowerpot, causing it to break. Following the incident, the hotel employee lodged a police report that led to Lim’s arrest on Dec 11. The estimated loss was RM300.
