Woman fined RM1,000 for hitting man with broom after TikTok insult
PETALING JAYA: A housewife was fined RM1,000 by the magistrates' court today for assaulting a man with a broom after he insulted her during a live TikTok stream last month. Magistrate Shahril Anuar Ahmad Mustapha imposed the fine on K. Mahaletchimy, 50, after she pleaded guilty to the charge. Shahril ordered her to serve a month in jail if she fails to pay the fine. The visibly saddened Mahaletchimy entered her guilty plea immediately after the charge was read out by a court interpreter. "I understand. I plead guilty," she said. She had arrived earlier at the courtroom accompanied by several family members, who sat in the public gallery during proceedings. According to the charge, Mahaletchimy voluntarily caused hurt to the 24-year-old victim at about 7.30pm at the security guard post of a primary school in Puchong on July 5. The offence, under Section 323 of the Penal Code, carries a maximum one-year jail term, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both upon conviction. According to the facts of the case, Mahaletchimy was upset that the victim had made disparaging remarks about her during the stream. She confronted him and struck his left arm with a broom. When the victim tried to flee, she chased after him and hit him again with the broom. She was arrested in Kinrara on July 30 by investigators from the Serdang district police headquarters. Investigations revealed she had assaulted the victim with a broom and the act was caught on closed-circuit television camera footage. National Legal Aid Foundation lawyer Muhd Muqri Mohd Khairi appealed for leniency, citing Mahaletchimy's early guilty plea, which saved the court's time, and the fact that she is a first offender. "She was remanded for two days for investigations and has shown remorse. "She was released and voluntarily came to court today to face the charge. "I ask for a minimal fine on her," he said. Deputy public prosecutor Lim Leong Hui asked the court to impose a proportionate sentence to serve as a deterrent. After proceedings, Mahaletchimy said she had lost her patience and struck the victim after he made disparaging remarks about her. "It involves my dignity, and what he said cannot be tolerated," she said.

British tourist claims trial to sexual assault charge
Adekoya Oluwatoyosi Osideinde was charged at the magistrates' court in Petaling Jaya with outraging the modesty of an Indonesian man. PETALING JAYA : A British tourist who once claimed to have had a sexual encounter with a member of the Taliban has been charged at the magistrates' court here with using criminal force to outrage the modesty of an Indonesian man. Adekoya Oluwatoyosi Osideinde, 30, pleaded not guilty when the charge was read before magistrate Shahril Anuar Ahmad Mustapha. He was accused of touching the genitals of the 47-year-old victim in a hotel room here at about 8.34am on Aug 2. Deputy public prosecutor Lim Leong Hui appeared for the prosecution while the accused was represented by R Sivaraj. Sivaraj asked the court to set a lower bail, saying his client was an independent wealth consultant supporting his 70-year-old mother, who suffered from diabetes and a heart condition. He also noted that the sessions court here had set bail of RM5,000 for the accused in a separate drug-related case. Shahril set bail at RM6,000 with two sureties and fixed Oct 3 for mention. In April, several foreign media outlets reported that Adekoya was an 'extreme tourism' enthusiast who had visited 69 countries including Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and Belarus. He claimed to have used an online dating application to find men to date, and to have had sex with a Taliban member in a hotel room during a trip to Afghanistan in 2023.
