Influencer ‘CEO Batu' claims trial to possessing lewd content
Social media influencer Iqbal Muhammad was charged at the Selayang magistrates' court. KUALA LUMPUR : Social media influencer 'CEO Batu', charged yesterday with indecently exposing himself to a minor, was today slapped with an additional charge of possessing pornographic material. Iqbal Muhammad, 22, claimed trial to the latest charge at the Selayang magistrates' court. He arrived at court this morning accompanied by several family members and was seen giving a thumbs-up to the media as he entered the courtroom. Iqbal is accused of possessing pornographic videos and images allegedly found on his mobile phone during an inspection at the Gombak district police headquarters at around 11.30am on May 22. He was charged under Section 292(a) of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of three years' jail, a fine, or both, upon conviction. Magistrate Chai Guan Hock fixed bail at RM3,000 with one surety. Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Birr Zamier Abu Bakar proposed bail at RM6,000. However, Iqbal's lawyer Nabil Ashraff Ridzuan sought to halve the sum, citing financial constraints faced by his client. 'The accused earned about RM3,000 a month as an influencer. But since the case surfaced, he has lost his income as many of his content contracts have been terminated,' he said. Nabil said Iqbal was also supporting his younger brother, who suffers from breathing difficulties, and his 74-year-old grandfather who requires regular check-ups at the National Heart Institute. The court set Sept 30 for mention.
