Alor Gajah police probe the sex video leak of Melaka teacher fined by Shariah court for illicit act with ‘Abang Wiring'
ALOR GAJAH, May 31 — Melaka police is reportedly investigating the circulation of a purported sex clip involving a secondary school teacher, which had led to her being charged and sentenced in the Shariah Court. Harian Metro wrote citing Alor Gajah police chief Superintendent Ashari Abu Samah saying she had lodged a report on May 24, after learning that a video was shared online. 'The woman was unhappy after learning that a sex video involving her had been circulated. Police have also opened an investigation under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998,' he was quoted saying, referring to 'improper use of network facilities or network service'. Ashari added that the case is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code for outraging the modesty of a person. He said police had examined the mobile phones of both the teacher and the man involved, but the video was not found and is believed to have been deleted. Further investigations are ongoing, and the case will be referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further action. It was reported earlier that the teacher 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 in Melaka yesterday after pleading guilty to attempting to commit an act deemed immoral under Shariah law. Berita 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. 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.

Cops probe viral sex video involving teacher, married electrician
Alor Gajah police chief Ashari Abu Samah said the case is being investigated under laws covering indecent acts and online misconduct. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Melaka police have launched an investigation into a leaked sex video allegedly involving a female teacher and a married electrician. Alor Gajah police chief Ashari Abu Samah said the investigation paper was opened under Section 509 of the Penal Code for outraging modesty, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which deals with the misuse of network facilities. 'The teacher lodged a report as she was dissatisfied with the circulation of the video,' Harian Metro quoted him as saying. He said a preliminary probe into the mobile phone of the man did not uncover any pornographic content. The case will be referred to the deputy public prosecutor for further action. The case went viral on social media, with people sharing video clips of the man's wife confronting the teacher. Also shared were screenshots of lewd conversations on WhatsApp, said to be between the pair. The scandal prompted the education ministry to temporarily suspend the teacher from her duties. Following the uproar, the Melaka shariah high court fined both the teacher, Nur Fadilah Zainal, and the electrician, Hairul Ezuan Hamzah, RM5,000 each for attempting to commit an immoral act earlier this year. They were charged under Section 52 of the Melaka Syariah Offences Enactment 1991. Both paid the fines.

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.
