A trader pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a gang robbery charge against him.

Aswat, who was unrepresented, faces a maximum jail term of 20 years and whipping if convicted.
Deputy public prosecutor Dhiya Syazwani Izyan Mohd Akhir proposed a bail sum of RM10,000 with one surety but Aswat appealed to the judge to reduce the sum saying he did not earn much and had to support a family.
Judge Balqis Aini Mohd Ali set bail at RM5,000 with one surety and set Nov 29 for mention.
