And the charges:Besides that, the daily also reported that there were more than 150 very irritating people waiting outside the court to catch a glimpse of the accused. Here is part of the article:
Two housewives from Bukit Kecil, Sungai Pinang, said they woke up early and quickly finished their housework so that they could come and see what the couple looked like and how they behaved.

“We took a sapu van to get here as we don’t know how to drive,” said Wong Ah Lan, 60.

“We are busybodies,” said her neighbour who only gave her name as Yin, 47.

They met a friend, Kok Yin Lan, 56, from Pulau Betong who went there with three other women from her area.

”This is my second time here. I came today because I heard that Ying Ying’s grandparents would be present and I wanted to see what they looked like in person,” she said.
