KUALA LUMPUR – Controversial policewoman Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar today claimed trial at the Magistrate's Court here, to a charge of obstructing a police officer from performing his duties last week.
The suspended policewoman, better known as "Inspector Sheila", pleaded guilty after the charge was read out to her before Magistrate Aina Azahra Arifin, reported Kosmo.
According to the charge sheet, the 37-year-old is accused of intentionally obstructing police officer Malvinderjit Singh Teerath Singh, 37, from carrying out his duties during a crime prevention patrol, between 8.15pm and 8.30pm at a restaurant on Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah in Dang Wangi here, on November 4.
Sheila could be jailed for up to two years, or fined up to RM10,000, or both, if convicted under the charge framed under Section 186 of the Penal Code.
Deputy public prosecutor Hench Goh prosecuted while Sheila was represented by lawyer M Manoharan.
The court set bail at RM6,600 with one surety, and fixed Jan 20 for next mention.
Earlier, Sheila was brought to the court complex in a white police van, accompanied by officers from the Criminal Investigation Department.
Upon arrival, Sheila, who was dressed in a blouse and skirt, raised her voice at a policeman and addressed the press, saying, "Good afternoon, everyone. How are you? Well? Any questions, you guys can ask me later, alright?"
She then turned her attention to photographers, issuing a stern warning: "Did you ask for my permission to take my pictures? It is my right. You cannot take pictures without my permission. Taking pictures without my permission, watch out,” She was quoted saying by NST.
She also added, "Nice meeting you guys. It is a good day, Malaysia."
Sheila was seen in a viral video allegedly mocking a group of policemen who had stopped and checked a Pakistani man for driving without a licence on November 4.
During the inspection, she allegedly accused the policemen of not knowing the law, ridiculed their actions, and claimed they had threatened the foreigner.
One of the policemen later lodged a report, and the case was investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant from performing their duties and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act for insulting behaviour.
Yesterday, city police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said the probe had been completed and investigation papers were referred to the deputy public prosecutor's office.– November 12, 2025
