Herbal trader fined for insulting Orang Asli community and Deputy Speaker on Facebook
IPOH: A 53-year-old herbal trader who insulted the Orang Asli community and Parliament Deputy Speaker Datuk Ramli Mohd Nor on his Facebook account pleaded guilty at the Tapah Magistrate's Court on Thursday (July 31). The accused, M. Toraise @ Turesh Kumar, made the guilty plea after the charge was read before Magistrate Anis Zainab Pawanteh. The trader from Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, was fined RM1,300. According to the charge sheet, the accused, on May 27 at approximately 9.30pm, had intentionally made an insulting remark on his Facebook account. His action provoked anger in an individual named Bah Bi A/L Bah Kerundang, who then lodged a police report. The accused committed an offence punishable under Section 504 of the Penal Code. Prosecuting officer Insp Herman Kayae asked for an appropriate sentence as a lesson to both the accused and the public to prevent repetition and to deter making comments that could disrupt public order. The accused was represented by lawyer R. Balamurali, who said his client is a single father supporting two children and is running a small business, earning between RM1,000 and RM1,500 a month. He added that the accused has limited language comprehension and was unaware that his actions could disrupt public peace. "The accused has pleaded guilty, apologised, and expressed remorse for the offence committed," he said. He paid the fine. In the police report dated June 23, Bah Bi, who is the Malaysian Ex-Police Association (Senoi Praaq branch) president from Jalan Pahang in Tapah, lodged the report after coming across the post. In the post, the accused had called Ramli a "sakai" and stated that he (Ramli) has the mental capacity "like Tarzan".

Art museum owner fined RM300k for illegal wildlife parts possession
KUALA LUMPUR: An art museum owner has been fined RM300,000 by the Sessions Court for illegally possessing protected wildlife parts without a licence. Yiu Shoou Rang, 66, pleaded guilty to eight amended charges and was also sentenced to nine months' imprisonment if he failed to pay the fine, which he later settled. The charges included possession of an orangutan skull, two estuarine crocodile skulls, and seven elephant tusks—all fully protected species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010. The offences took place at a business premises in Central Market, Jalan Hang Kasturi, on January 8, 2024. Yiu also faced four additional charges for possessing 150 wild boar parts, 10 porcupine quills, and six sambar deer parts without a valid licence. These offences fall under Section 60(1)(a) of the Wildlife Conservation Act, which carries penalties of up to RM50,000 in fines or three years' imprisonment. Deputy public prosecutor Suhaila Rashid pushed for a deterrent sentence, while defence counsel Teh See Khoon argued for leniency, stating the items were part of an Orang Asli collection meant for museum display. Five other charges were taken into consideration by the court. - Bernama
