Oon Tien Yue lets friend die, gets pathetic RM500 Pandan fine

A trader got slapped with a RM500 fine after he left his badly hurt friend to die without getting medical help. Oon Tien Yue will spend a month behind bars if he fails to pay up. The 37-year-old admitted he messed up big time when he failed to get treatment for his pal Law Mun How. The victim worked as an e-hailing driver and died from nasty infected wounds while staying at the trader's place. Magistrate Amalina Basirah Md Top handed down the sentence after hearing the shocking case.

Law had been sleeping rough in his car outside the trader's house for nearly a week after getting beaten up badly. The injured man camped out there from June 14 to 20 before Oon finally brought him inside. But instead of rushing him to hospital, the trader just dumped his friend in the living room and left him there. The victim's wounds got worse and bacteria spread through his body, killing him two days later. Doctors found the infection had eaten away at his skin and muscles.

The prosecutor demanded a harsh punishment because of how serious the case was. Oon begged the court to go easy on him because he takes care of his elderly parents. The whole tragic mess happened at a house in Pandan Perdana between June 20 and 22. Law died on June 22 and doctors examined his body the next day.
