PENANG (Sept 14, 2007): Shouts of “khim siew” (animal) and “kah cho mengka ho lang hip” (dare to do let you your picture be taken) were among the abuses hurled by the paternal relatives of the late Shearwei Ooi Ying Ying, three, on her mother Teh Hooi Wen and her boyfriend Ong Chee Leong when their cases came up for mention in separate magistrate’s courts today.

Teh did not retaliate when she left the court room after her case, where she is jointly charged with Ong, was mentioned.

Among those present was Ying Ying’s father Ooi Eng Chew, 29.

The duo who are jointly charged with possessing 1.5gm of cannabis in M3-04-19, Solok Angsana, Farlim, on July 17 at 6.30pm had the charge amended to possession of 0.79gm.

Both claimed trial to the amended charge and magistrate Ainul Shahrin Mohamad fixed Jan 21 for hearing.

The charge, under Section 6 of the Dangerous Drugs Act, carries a maximum five years’ jail and a RM20,000 fine.

Ong, 29, who was charged with murdering Ying Ying in Block 11-03-3A Seri Impian, Lengkok Angsana in Bandar Baru Air Itam, between 7.30am and 6.30pm on July 5 will have his case mentioned on Oct 22.

Teh also faces another charge of lodging a report stating that her daughter had gone missing despite knowing all along that the child had been murdered.

She is charged with doing this in the Bayan Lepas police station about 10.30am on July 6.

She faces the charge under Section 182 of the Penal Code which carries a maximum six months jail, RM2,000 fine or both upon conviction.

She also faces another charge of consuming methamphetamine in the Bayan Lepas police station about 1.30am on July 9.

Both cases will be heard in the Balik Pulau magistrate’s court on Sept 24.
