Three charged with insulting Najib on Facebook



Three people today claimed trial at the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur to charges of making derogatory postings about Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak on Facebook. 
Roti canai seller Mazlan Yusoff, 48, was charged with uploading a posting under the profile name Zain Al Aznam on a post written by one "Dr Hassan Ali", which was critical of the country's financial situation. Mazlan had posted a doctored image of Najib, captioned "Mao Hu Tang" beside a picture of Chinese leader Mao Zedong. 
Mazlan allegedly made the posting about 2.53am on Nov 11, 2016. 
Meanwhile, Nor Sabariah Abdul Kadir, 29, was charged with posting a derogatory comment on the "Otai Bersih" Facebook page, about 5.11pm on Feb 1, in which she allegedly called the PM a thief. 
The third accused - storekeeper Ng Thai Quen, 19, was slapped with a charge of editing an insulting image of Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor and uploading it on a Facebook page called "Kami Benci Najib", about 7pm on Dec 15, last year.
Nor Sabariah was represented by lawyer Farida Mohammad while the other two were unrepresented.

All three were charged under Section 233 (1) (a) of the Multimedia and Communications Act 1998 (Act 588), for intentionally creating or sending derogatory communications with the intent to hurt others' feelings.
If convicted, they stand to face a maximum fine of RM50,000, or a jail term not exceeding one year or both.
DPP Mohd Sophian Zakaria asked for bail to be set at RM5,000 each. Judge Zainal L Salleh then allowed bail of RM3,000 each with one surety and fixed Oct 27 for a mention.  -Mkini
