Previously put on leave, Melaka teacher sentenced in Shariah court over attempt to commit illicit sex act with ‘Abang Wiring'
MELAKA, May 31 – A schoolteacher and a self-employed electrical technician dubbed 'Abang Wiring' were each fined RM5,000 or sentenced to six months' jail by the Shariah High Court here yesterday after pleading guilty to attempting to commit an act deemed immoral under Shariah law. Beritah Harian reported Judge Mohd Yunus Mohamad Zin handed down the sentence to Muhammad Hairul Ezuan Hamzah and Nur Fadilah Zainal, both 31, following an incident on February 28 at a residence in Taman Bukit Emas, Sungai Petai, Alor Gajah. 'The prosecution emphasises that there is no specific provision for unlawful intercourse between individuals not married to each other, so our approach is via Section 52 concerning attempts to commit illicit intercourse,' said Melaka Chief Shariah Prosecutor Atras Mohamad Zin. Atras said both individuals had entered their pleas voluntarily and understood the implications under Section 52 of the Shariah Offences Enactment (Melaka) 1991, while also noting the case's public attention as a factor in the prosecution's call for a deterrent sentence. Judge Mohd Yunus said the court considered the facts presented, the background of the accused, their plea for leniency, and the fact that this was their first offence, before imposing the sentence, which included an option of a fine or imprisonment. Both individuals, who were unrepresented in court, opted to pay the fine. The charge under Section 52 relates to attempts to engage in 'zina', or sexual relations with a person who is not one's lawful spouse under Shariah law. It carries a maximum fine of RM5,000, or up to 36 months in prison, or both. Authorities launched an investigation after receiving a tip-off on May 27 regarding a couple allegedly involved in conduct contravening Shariah guidelines, leading to a summons for questioning on May 29 by the Melaka Islamic Religious Department (Jaim). According to case facts, both individuals acknowledged engaging in the conduct on February 28, after which they were arrested and their statements recorded. The matter drew significant public interest after it was reported that the female teacher had been placed on administrative leave amid allegations involving a married man. Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek later confirmed that the teacher remained in service as a civil servant while awaiting the outcome of the case.

Teacher and wiring technician fined RM5,000 each for attempted adultery
MELAKA: A female teacher and a male wiring technician were each fined the maximum amount of RM5,000 by the Melaka Syariah High Court today for attempting to commit adultery. Syariah Judge Mohd Yunus Mohamad Zin imposed the sentence after both accused, aged 31, pleaded guilty to the charge. The pair, who were unrepresented, were also ordered to serve six months' imprisonment in default of payment. Based on the charge, they were found attempting to have illicit sexual relations with someone who is not their lawful spouse under Islamic law, at a house in Sungai Petai, Alor Gajah, around 9 pm on Feb 28. They were charged under Section 52 of the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment (Melaka) 1991, which carries a penalty of up to RM5,000 fine, a maximum of 36 months imprisonment, or both upon conviction. Melaka Syariah Prosecution Department chief prosecutor Atras Mohamad Zin, assisted by Syarie prosecutor Radzwan Abdullah, urged the court to impose the maximum penalty as a deterrent, not only for the two accused but also for the wider Muslim community. In mitigation, the visibly emotional teacher pleaded for a lighter sentence due to financial constraints, saying she is responsible for her four-year-old son and ailing parents. The other accused similarly appealed for leniency, citing difficulties in securing employment and a loss of income following the affair going viral on social media. 'I am willing to take responsibility for her (the woman), and I have also performed solat taubat (repentance prayer),' he said. Previously, the case gained widespread attention on social media when the female teacher publicly apologised amid allegations of an affair with a married man, known online as 'abang wiring'. The matter drew strong public criticism after screenshots of lewd and inappropriate conversations between the pair went viral on WhatsApp.
