Ex-shop assistant fined RM100 for shaming woman's appearance online
The court was told that Nurul Hidayah Yusuf, 23, admitted to the offence, saying she wanted to get back at Nur Ain Suraya Yapri Kamaruzaman, 24, who had allegedly accused her of theft.
During the livestream, Nurul Hidayah displayed photographs of Nur Ain without permission, using them as the backdrop while making disparaging remarks about her appearance with and without makeup.
Pleading for leniency as she was unrepresented, Nurul Hidayah told the court, "I ask for a minimal fine as I have been terminated from my job".
Deputy public prosecutor Amritpreet Kaur Randhawa urged the court to impose an appropriate sentence, considering the circumstances.
Magistrate Farah Nabihah Muhammad Dan imposed the RM100 fine, with a two-day jail term in default, after Nurul Hidayah pleaded guilty to the charge.
The offence was committed at about 10.51am at a condominium unit in Sentul on April 5.
The charge, framed under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955, provides for a maximum fine of RM100.
According to the facts of the case, Nur Ain had received screen recordings of the livestream in which she was ridiculed over her appearance. Feeling humiliated, she lodged a police report at the Sentul police station.
Subsequent investigations revealed that Nurul Hidayah had deliberately gone live on TikTok to shame Nur Ain in retaliation for the theft allegation.

Melaka KPDN seizes 4.1 tonnes of illegal fertiliser in Ayer Keroh
MELAKA: The Melaka branch of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has seized 4.1 tonnes of illegally repackaged fertiliser worth RM6,789 in Ayer Keroh. The raid, conducted under Op Samar 5.0, targeted three bungalow lots where the fertiliser was being repackaged without approval from the Malaysian Supply Controller. State KPDN director Dr Mohd Hazimin Jamaludin stated that the operation followed a week of surveillance after public tip-offs. The seized fertiliser, sold under brands Bioactive Organic, Jitu, and Ajib, was allegedly marketed online via platforms like TikTok, yielding monthly profits of up to RM400,000. 'The fertiliser was being repackaged without proper certification. The operation was conducted in a luxury residential area to avoid detection,' said Mohd Hazimin. The rented properties cost between RM2,500 and RM3,000 monthly, allowing the operators to keep costs lower than in industrial zones while evading authorities. The case is being investigated under the Control of Supplies Act 1961 and the Weights and Measures Act 1972. – Bernama

Illegal fertiliser repackaging op raking in RM400,000 monthly profits busted in Melaka
MELAKA: A company raking in monthly profits of up to RM400,000 has been exposed for running an illegal fertiliser repackaging operation from three rented bungalows in an upscale residential neighbourhood in Ayer Keroh here. The illicit activity came to light following a raid by the Melaka Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) under Ops Samar 5.0. Melaka KPDN director Dr Mohd Hazimin Jamaludin said the operation was uncovered after a week of public tip-offs and surveillance. "The bungalows were operating like small-scale factories, repackaging fertiliser purchased from other sources into smaller packets. "Two of the homes were also used as business offices and TikTok livestream studios for online sales,' he said on Tuesday (July 15). Dr Mohd Hazimin said the company was found to have violated two major regulations, the Supply Control Act 1961 and the Weights and Measures Act 1972. 'They've been operating for about a year without any official approval from KPDN's Supply Controller to deal in controlled items like fertiliser. "The company also lacked local council approval, retail and wholesale licences,' he said. Dr Mohd Hazimin said that under the Weights and Measures Act, the company was using uncertified weighing tools, raising concerns about inaccurate measurements for products sold through TikTok. He said his team discovered 4,165kg of fertiliser worth RM6,789 ready for repackaging and distribution nationwide during the raid. "The business model allowed the company to generate estimated monthly profits of RM400,000 with the help of 15 employees. Dr Mohd Hazimin noted that the company's decision to operate in a high-end residential area, rather than an industrial zone, was likely a strategic move to avoid detection. 'This is the first case of its kind in the state and possibly in the country. "It was also difficult for our enforcement team to even enter the area due to tight security to these homes are occupied by high-profile and elite individuals,' he added.

[Watch] Abandoned Kitten Killed By Stray Dog After Being Left At Vet Clinic In Selangor
Subscribe to our FREE A tragic incident recently unfolded at a veterinary clinic in Semenyih, Selangor. CCTV footage captured what appeared to be a well-intentioned rescue attempt that ended in tragedy. The footage shows someone placing an injured kitten near the clinic entrance, accompanied by a pink Post-it note, before driving away. Minutes after the person left, stray dogs appeared and attacked the helpless kitten. Clinic's Frustration Goes Viral The animal didn't survive. Written in Malay, the handwritten note read: 'I found this kitten injured on the road… I want to treat it, but can't afford it. Forgive me. May fortune smile on you.' The veterinary clinic shared the note on social media. Now maybe the kitten is already dead… So how?? Person Who Left Kitten Comes Forward The story took an unexpected turn when the person who left the kitten came forward and apologised. In a social media update, the veterinary clinic posted: Regarding this video, owner has come forward today and apologised. Owner will issue a public apology statement as soon as possible. We will post them later. Thank you for all the share. Please stop sharing for now. The veterinary clinic had previously encountered such abandonments and had lodged police reports due to the recurring incidents. It stated that such postings are not intended to shame, but rather to prevent future tragedies through education and awareness. When Good Intentions Go Wrong The incident highlights gaps in public knowledge about animal rescue. Many people don't realise: Veterinary clinics have specific procedures for accepting animals After-hours drop-offs expose animals to predators and the weather Most clinics can provide guidance even when closed Animal welfare organisations exist to help with costs The person who found the kitten was genuinely trying to save its life, and their logic wasn't wrong—veterinarians are the right people to help injured animals. But leaving it outside a closed clinic at night exposed it to precisely the kind of danger they were trying to prevent. Under Malaysia's Animal Welfare Act 2015, leaving animals unattended carries penalties of up to three years in prison and a fine of RM100,000. The pink Post-it note became a symbol of good intentions gone wrong, and the CCTV footage a reminder that in animal rescue, method matters as much as intention.
