: A former technician was brought before the Sessions Court again here today on a charge of posting offensive messages insulting Islam on his Facebook account in March, regarding the sale of stockings bearing the word Allah.
Earlier today, the High Court had quashed the March 22 decision of Sessions Court Judge Suzana Hussin, sentencing him to six months in jail and an RM12,000 fine for the initial charge, to which he pleaded guilty. The High Court also ordered the accused to be charged again at another Sessions Court as soon as possible.
The charge was framed under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which carries a maximum fine of RM50,000 or imprisonment not exceeding one year or both, and may be liable to a further fine of RM1,000 for each day the offense continues, upon conviction.
