Teacher in Alor Gajah affair controversy lodges report over leaked video
ALOR GAJAH: A 31-year-old female teacher at the centre of controversy surrounding an alleged extramarital affair has lodged a police report, claiming that an intimate video of her has gone viral. Alor Gajah OCPD Supt Ashari Abu Samah said the teacher lodged a report here recently as she was dissatisfied upon discovering that her intimate video had been circulated. He said police have opened an investigation under Section 509 of the Penal Code for insulting the modesty of a person and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. "However, we have yet to trace the video in question," he said on Saturday (May 31). Supt Ashari added that the investigation will be referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further instructions. On Friday (May 30), the teacher and a male wiring technician were each fined the maximum amount of RM5,000 by the Melaka Syariah High Court for attempting to commit adultery. The case had previously attracted widespread attention on social media when the female teacher issued a public apology amid allegations of an affair with a 31-year-old married man, known online as "abang wiring". The matter sparked public outrage after screenshots of lewd and inappropriate conversations between the two went viral on WhatsApp.

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.
