Former TV station employee faints while facing 743 data tampering charges
KUALA LUMPUR: A former television station employee fainted in the dock after part of the 743 charges of data tampering involving the company's customer management system were read out to her in the Sessions Court here today. Nora Idayu Jaafar, 48, who was serving with Astro at the time, collapsed and fainted as the court interpreter was reading the 30th charge under the Computer Crimes Act 1997 before Judge Norma Ismail. The court then set June 26 for the reading of the remaining 713 charges, after the accused pleaded not guilty to the first 30. The court allowed Nora Idayu bail of RM10,000 with one surety, with the added conditions that she must surrender her passport to the court until the case is concluded and report to the nearest police station once a month. According to the 30 charges, in her capacity as an associate with the Department of Commercial Support Unit at Astro, she allegedly modified data by converting 30 ordinary customer accounts into corporate accounts in the Astro customer management system (AMDOCS CRM), resulting in unauthorised database alterations. The offences were allegedly committed at the Astro Office at Menara Icon, Jalan Tun Razak here. The charges, under Section 5 (1) of the Computer Crimes Act 1997, provide for a penalty of up to RM100,000 fine or imprisonment of up to seven years, or both, upon conviction. The prosecution was conducted by deputy public prosecutor Rohaiza Abdul Rahman, while the accused was unrepresented.

"The investigating officer had applied for a summons for court attendance from the Kuala Lumpur magistrate's court against Persana compelling her to attend court today to answer the charges. "Persana had personally received the summons on April 29. "Despite this, she did not attend court today, so I am requesting the issuance of an arrest warrant," he said. Norma set June 19 for mention of the arrest warrant. The summons, which compelled Persana to appear at the Sessions Court today, was issued by the magistrate's court on April 22. The summons, sighted by the New Straits Times, showed Persana has an address in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, and she had put down her name, MyKad number, signature and the April 29 date on the document as acknowledgement. Sources said Persana faces charges under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act for using a communication service of false nature by uploading a falsified marriage certificate with the intention to annoy others on a TikTok account in February this year. The posting was read by investigators at the Cyber Crime and Multimedia Investigation Division at Bukit Aman's Commercial Crime Investigation Department.
