(Bernama pic) KUALA LUMPUR : An online health food seller pleaded not guilty in the sessions court here today to a charge of posting offensive content on the authorities' investigation into GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) on his YouTube channel last year. Norizan Yahaya, 62, was charged with making and transmitting content deemed offensive with the intent of annoying others via YouTube account 'Zam Yahaya Official' between 2pm and 6pm on Sept 15, 2024. The content was accessed at the cyber and multimedia crime investigation division of the commercial crime investigation department at the Bukit Aman police headquarters in Wangsa Maju at 8pm the next day. Norizan was charged under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which carries a maximum fine of RM50,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both upon conviction. An additional fine of RM1,000 may be imposed for each day the offence persists after conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Amir Hannif Ahijman proposed bail of RM10,000 in one surety. However, Norizan's lawyer, Asiah Abd Jalil, asked for a minimal bail amount on the grounds that her client was the sole breadwinner supporting an unemployed wife and not a flight risk. 'My client sells health food online and earns approximately RM2,000 a month. He has five children, two of whom are at university,' she said. Judge Norma Ismail granted bail of RM7,000 in one surety and fixed July 11 for the next case mention.
