Man claims trial to making obscene comments on social media about Nurul Izzah
SEPANG: A 48-year-old man has pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here to 11 charges of making indecent and excessively obscene comments targeting Nurul Izzah Anwar, the daughter of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The accused, Ruslan Mat Ali, who works as a diver and is a single father, entered his plea after the charges were read before Judge Ahmad Fuad Othman.
He is accused of knowingly making and initiating the transmission of indecent and excessively obscene comments with the intent to annoy others on his Facebook from Jan 21 to Feb 25.
He was charged under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which provides for a fine not exceeding RM50,000, or imprisonment for up to one year, or both, upon conviction.
According to the first charge, the post was accessed on Feb 4 at approximately 7am at MCMC Tower 1, Jalan Impact, Cyber 6, Cyberjaya.
For the second to eleventh charges, the posts were accessed on Feb 26, between 1.51pm and 4.30pm, at the MCMC Centre of Excellence, Jalan Impact, Cyber 6, Cyberjaya.
Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) deputy public prosecutor Fadhli Ab Wahab proposed that bail be set at RM15,000 with one surety.
However, the accused, who was unrepresented, appealed for a lower amount, citing the absence of a fixed income and the responsibility of supporting his three children.
Judge Ahmad Fuad Othman set bail at RM10,000, with case mention fixed for July 18.
The accused failed to post bail and has been remanded until the next mention date. – Bernama

Perlis forms task force to curb RM1.5m revenue leakage
KANGAR: A special task force led by Perlis state secretary Datuk Rahimi Ismail has been formed to address revenue leakages related to the rental of state land and buildings. Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli said the task force is responsible for identifying and collecting data on premises and assets involved in the leakages, as well as coordinating actions to ensure that lost revenue can be recovered. 'Among the task force's early achievements is identifying revenue leakages involving four departments/agencies. Through these initial actions, the total leakage identified has reached RM1.5 million. '...with an estimated RM800,000 expected to be recovered by the end of 2025. This effort will continue to involve other departments,' he said during the monthly assembly of the state administration here today. Mohd Shukri said the task force is also in the process of preparing a Premises Usage Management Guideline, which has been reviewed by the State Legal Adviser's Office and is now being examined by the Perlis State Land and Mines Office (PTG) for feedback. Mohd Shukri said the task force was formed following a January audit committee meeting that called for immediate action to ensure rental income from state-owned properties collected by third parties is returned to the state. Issues related to the rental of state land and buildings include activities conducted without valid contracts or agreements, violations of existing regulations, encroachments on government-owned land and the rental of assets that do not provide reasonable returns to the state, he added. 'This situation not only causes revenue loss but also reflects non-compliance with the laws and regulations in place,' he said.
