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.

Court rules clerk a Hindu, says her unilateral conversion unlawful
Court of Appeal judge Azimah Omar said neither the mother nor the woman had the capacity to do the conversion. PUTRAJAYA : The Court of Appeal has unanimously affirmed a High Court ruling that a clerk was never a Muslim as her mother had unilaterally converted her in 2004 without the father's consent. A three-member bench, chaired by Justice Azimah Omar, said there was no appealable error by the High Court that warranted an intervention. In her broad grounds of judgment, Azimah said the woman, now 28, was unable to give consent as a minor as this would be in breach of Section 117 (b) of the Selangor Islamic Religious Enactment 2003. The provision states it is mandatory that the consent of both parents must be obtained before conversion of a minor who is below the age of 18 could take place. 'Neither the mother nor the woman had the capacity to do the conversion,' said Azimah, who sat with Justices Noorin Badaruddin and Firuz Jaffril. The Selangor Islamic Religious Council had taken the position that this was a case of renunciation and she should go to the shariah court. However, Azimah said it had nothing to do with the woman's measure of faith, and was all about procedural and administrative matters. Last year, the High Court had allowed the woman's declaration that she was a Hindu at all times and her conversion to Islam was done unilaterally by the mother. Azimah said a non-Muslim does not require a declaration from the shariah court that he or she is non-Muslim. 'In this case, the woman should not be unnecessarily burdened to prove in the shariah court that she is no longer a Muslim,' she said, adding that the religious court had no exclusive jurisdiction to determine the validity of an unlawful unilateral conversion. Lawyers Ahmad Kamal Abu Bakar and Arik Zakri Abdul Kadir appeared for the council, while Rajesh Nagarajan and Nur Azyan Azimi represented the woman. The facts of the case revealed that the woman was legitimately born as a Hindu as both her parents were from that faith when they married in 1982. The couple separated in September 1999 and the woman and her two sisters were placed under the mother's care and custody. The religious status of her siblings is unclear. In February 2004, the mother wanted to marry a Muslim man and registered as Muslim with the council's branch office in Klang. Subsequently, the mother converted the woman, who was seven years old in 2004. In 2023, the woman filed an originating summons in the High Court in Klang, seeking a declaration that she was never a Muslim and the conversion by the mother was 'void ab initio' or invalid from the very beginning. The council filed an application to strike out the suit, stating the matter should be adjudicated by the shariah court.

Blogger Awarded BD400 Over Emotional Distress
A Bahraini man, who was previously fined BD50 for misusing telecommunications devices, has now been ordered to pay BD400 in damages to a blogger after a court found hiscomments had caused her emotional distress. A civil court ruled that the defendant's remarks on one of the blogger's posts had resulted in psychological harm. He had previously been convicted in a criminal court and fined for online misconduct. Following that ruling, the blogger sought compensation through the civil courts, which upheld her claim and ordered the defendant to cover legal fees. The plaintiff's lawyer, Fatema Al Thuwaini, said her client had endured harassment and distress after the defendant posted offensive comments in response to her content. A complaint was lodged with the Cybercrime Directorate, leading to an investigation and subsequent prosecution. Al Thuwaini argued that the defendant's words had caused harm by subjecting her client to personal attacks. The defendant's lawyer, however, maintained that the remarks were general in nature and not aimed directly at the blogger. He also challenged the BD1,200 compensation claim, calling it excessive and pointing out that his client, a family man earning BD300 a month, was struggling with debts and financial commitments.

Along Cham announces his divorce from wife of 10 months
6 Feb - Along Cham has indirectly confirmed that he is now divorced via his new status on social media. On 4 February, the comedian posted a message on Instagram Story, saying, "Praise be to God. Shariah Court matters are done." He also added the hashtag "Arbaie is Single Again", in reference to his character from the 2000 TV drama directed by Mamat Khalid. Along, real name Muhammad Nazimudin Ahmad, surprised many recently when he filed for taklik against wife Afreena Suhaimi a day after he was released from jail on bail following a drug arrest. He claimed that Afreena has gone against three taklik conditions that were agreed upon earlier, including "disobeying her husband". Along also stated that he actually was supposed to file the taklik in December last year, but was arrested for allegedly possessing drugs two days prior to his court appearance. Along tied the knot with Afreena back in April last year, eight years after his divorce from singer Zila Seeron. Taklik is a type of conditional divorce in Islamic law that allows a spouse to apply for divorce if the other party breaks a condition set out in their marriage agreement.
