Myanmar beach boys face jail, fine over jet ski crash
2011/02/06 GEORGE TOWN: The two Myanmar beach boys who rammed a jet ski into a tourist after she refused to hire the vehicle at Batu Ferringhi beach are being investigated for causing grievous hurt.
State police chief Datuk Ayub Yaakob said the two, aged 35 and 37, faced a maximum of two years' jail or RM2,000 fine, or both.
He said the suspects, who have been detained for two weeks, did not have travel documents on them.
"They said they were in the country on a tourist visa but we have yet to see any document to substantiate this."
He said this at Penang Hospital after visiting Chinese national Zhu Li, 47, who was admitted there for her injuries.
Ayub said police were also identifying the operator of the jet ski services.
"We are recording statements from eyewitnesses.
"We hope to wrap up investigations by next week and submit the papers to the deputy public prosecutor's office."
