Students among trio fined for having porn
The accused, Muhammad Al Azamuddin Al Fadzil, 22, and Mohamad Syahmi Firas Mohd Jurij, 27, were each fined RM4,000, while Mohd Hanafi Ibrahim, 47, was fined RM3,000 after pleading guilty to the charges read separately before Magistrate Wan Mohd Izzat Wan Abdullah.
The three men were charged with possessing pornographic images and videos on their respective mobile phones at a house in Jalan Kemumin, Kampung Pulau Belacan, Panchor here, at 1.15am on June 18.
All three accused were charged under Section 292 of the Penal Code, which provides for a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine, or both, if convicted, Bernama reported.
Deputy public prosecutors Muhammad Nadzir Abdullah and Nur Haziqah Hassan represented the prosecution, while lawyer Chong Yin Xin represented the three accused.
Earlier, Muhammad Nadzir and Nur Haziqah requested the court to impose an appropriate sentence on the accused as a lesson to society, considering the accused's immoral actions and violation of public norms.
However, Chong requested that her clients instead be given the minimum possible fine because they had all repented and promised to change.

The SC said Nadihah faced two charges jointly with another individual who is at large. PETALING JAYA: The Securities Commission (SC) has charged a former unit trust consultant (UTC) Nadihah Nawi at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court with offences relating to securities fraud involving purported unit trust investments. In a statement, the SC said Nadihah, 34, faced two charges jointly with another individual who is at large, under section 179(b) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007, read together with section 34 of the Penal Code. 'She was charged with defrauding two investors of RM20,000 by representing to them a unit trust investment in Kenanga Investors Bhd (KIB). 'The offences took place between January and June 2022 in Kuala Lumpur. 'The monies deposited by the investors were instead utilised for Nadihah's own unit trust investments in KIB. 'Nadihah was a UTC with Principal Asset Management Bhd at the material time.' The SC said Nadihah claimed trial to both charges before Sessions Court judge Tuan Izralizam Sanusi and was granted bail of RM70,000 with two local sureties. The court also imposed an additional bail condition for the defendant to report to the SC's investigating officer at the SC office in Kuala Lumpur on a monthly basis.

GOF seizes 14 goats, 190kg of ketum in Kelantan raids
PASIR MAS: The General Operations Force (GOF) has seized 14 goats and 190kg of ketum leaves, with a combined estimated value of over RM18,000, in two separate operations carried out here and in Tanah Merah. GOF Southeast Brigade commander Datuk Nik Ros Azhan Nik Abd Hamid said two local men were arrested in connection with the possession of the livestock and the ketum leaves. He said both seizures were made under Op Taring Wawasan Kelantan, which took place on Monday and last night. In the first operation, members of the 7th Battalion spotted a suspicious vehicle at Chabang Empat Tendong in Pasir Mas at around 7pm yesterday. "Upon inspection, GOF personnel found 14 goats cramped in the rear of the vehicle. "The 41-year-old driver failed to produce any documentation for the animals, which are believed to have been intended for sale on the local market. The estimated value of the seizure is RM10,500," he said. The case has been referred to the Kelantan Veterinary Department for further action under Section 36(1) of the Animals Act 1953. In a separate case, Ros Azhan said GOF personnel discovered several packages of ketum leaves in a vehicle. "The car was stopped as it passed through Kampung Bechah Butir Nangka in Tanah Merah at around 9am on Monday. Inside, the personnel found 19 black plastic packages containing 190kg of ketum leaves. The driver was also detained. "The seizure, valued at about RM7,600, has been handed over to the Tanah Merah Narcotics Criminal Investigation Division," he said.
