Divorcee charged with deceiving ex-girlfriend with fake kidnapping video, bullet possession
BUTTERWORTH: A divorced father of two was charged in the magistrate's court here today with two offences — deceiving his ex-girlfriend with a video falsely claiming he had been kidnapped, and possessing bullets without a licence. The accused, Muhamad Zulkifli Azizan, 27, pleaded not guilty to both charges, which were read separately before magistrate Aini Adilah Muhammad Faizal. According to the first charge, Zulkifli is accused of deceitfully causing his 21-year-old ex-girlfriend to believe that he was in danger due to a kidnapping, based on a video post which was fabricated. The offence allegedly took place at a house on Jalan Labuh Banting, Guar Perahu in Bukit Mertajam, about 10.30pm on May 28. He was charged under Section 417 of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of up to five years' imprisonment, a fine, or both, upon conviction. For the second charge, the accused is alleged to have possessed nine SME 5.56mm blank bullets (Malaysian-made) without a licence at a residence in Bertam Perdana, Kepala Batas, at 6.20pm on June 2. The charge is punishable under Section 8(a) of the Arms Act 1960, which provides for a maximum sentence of seven years' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM10,000, or both, upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Nurameera Shahrul Azrin appeared for the prosecution while the accused was represented by lawyer Khaliq Mehtab Mohd Ishaq. During proceedings, Nurameera proposed bail of RM16,000 for both charges with one surety, along with the additional condition that the accused must not interfere with prosecution witnesses until the case concludes. However, Khaliq Mehtab appealed for a lower bail, citing that his client works as a delivery rider earning only RM1,300 per month, and has to support two young children aged two and three, as well as a sick mother.
