Kota Kinabalu: A 36-year-old Filipina was fined RM3,000 or eight months' jail by the Magistrate's Court here for offering sexual services at a reflexology centre. Leonilen Pabolario pleaded guilty before Magistrate Marilyn Kelvin to engaging in prostitution by providing sexual services to a man in exchange for payment at around 9.25pm on Aug 7 at a premises in Luyang. She was charged under Section 372B of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of up to one year, or a fine, or both, upon conviction. According to the prosecution, the offence came to light after police conducted an Ops Noda raid based on public tip-offs and surveillance. The premises was reportedly frequented only by male clients. During the raid, police found Leonilen fully clothed on a bed, while a male customer was taking a shower. The man later admitted that he had been offered sexual services by the Filipina massage therapist. Leonilen's counsel, Dominic Chew, requested a fine, noting that she holds a valid passport. In a separate case, a 48-year-old unemployed man was sentenced to 10 months' jail for threatening to injure a woman. Kedapi Baharuddin pleaded guilty to threatening Norarina, 21, at 6.07am on June 7 this year at a house in Taman Indah Permai, Manggatal. The charge, under Section 506 of the Penal Code, provides for a jail term of up to seven years, or a fine, or both, upon conviction. According to the facts, the complainant was in her bedroom when she saw Kedapi outside her window, trying to bend the metal bars. When she confronted him, he became aggressive and threatened to kill her and her younger sibling, who witnessed the incident. The siblings cried and shouted for help, prompting a nearby relative to intervene, causing Kedapi to flee. He was arrested at noon the same day after a police report was lodged. The court ordered that his sentence be served from the date of arrest. In another case, a woman was fined RM1,700 or one month's jail for gambling in a public place. Nor Idah Tamang pleaded guilty to committing the offence at 3.40pm on July 30 under a tree in front of a shop in Manggatal town.

Police, acting under Op Dadu, observed Nor Idah for about 10 minutes before approaching her. Upon identifying themselves, officers conducted a search and found paraphernalia linked to 'Wah Hui' gambling, dated July 30, 2025. The items, including RM86 in cash, were seized, and Nor Idah was arrested. The court ordered the seized money to be forfeited to the government.

Over 82,000 immoral social media posts removed by MCMC since 2022
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 82,076 pieces of immoral content on social media were removed by platform providers between January 2022 and July 2025 following requests by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). The Ministry of Communications confirmed the removals in a written parliamentary reply to Muhammad Ismi Mat Taib (PN-Parit). The deleted content violated the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and other existing laws. Among the blocked platforms was the Facebook page Grup Budak-Budak Sekolah Rendah, which contained child sexual abuse material. The ministry stated that these actions were part of joint enforcement operations, Ops Pedo and Ops Noda, targeting inappropriate digital content. Content removals depend on platform assessments based on community guidelines and local laws. The government also restricted apps offering immoral services on Google Play and Apple Store. However, control over such platforms remains with foreign providers operating outside Malaysia. During the same period, 37,845 instances of false information and 7,846 posts on sensitive 3R issues were removed. Politically motivated troll accounts spreading racial and religious tensions were also taken down. The ministry emphasised that enforcement applies regardless of political affiliation to prevent abuse of free speech. MCMC collaborates with the Royal Malaysia Police to enforce laws against harmful online content. Section 233 of the Communications Act penalises misuse of social media to spread false or offensive material. - Bernama
