Bangladeshi's Bollywood Antics Fail To Prevent Jail Term
By Rol Ezam

Bandar Seri Begawan - A Bangladeshi man facing assault and attempted theft charges yesterday broke into a song, belting out `Bollywood' numbers, during his trial.

But his unexpected performance in court was in vain as he was sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment with 6 strokes of the cane after he was found guilty of two charges of causing hurt to two men and attempting to commit theft.

Md Moneru Islam bin Md Iskandar, 27, caused a commotion in court when he started making a lot of noises by singing 'Bollywood' songs, which appeared to have wasted the court's time.

He is currently serving a sentence of 2 years in jail with 10 strokes of the cane for committing mischief and possessing a cutter at a public place, to which he pleaded guilty to last year.

Md Moneru Islam was convicted of attempting to commit theft and voluntarily causing hurt to Talih bin Kifli using a cutter on June 30 at HSBC, Bangunan Gadong Properties last year.

He was also found guilty of causing hurt to Haji Md Edy Sofian Hj Taha using the same cutter on the same day in the vicinity of Gadong Filling Station.

According to the Deputy Public Prosecutor Hjh Anifa Rafiza Hi Abd Ghani, six witnesses, including a security officer of the bank, gave evidence during the trial.   -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
