All seven plead guilty to charges involving road obstruction, setting off flares and causing a public nuisance.
Kosmo reported that magistrates Syazwany Yasmyn Tuan Roslan, Aina Azahra Arifin and Farah Nabihah Dan handed down the sentences after all seven accused pleaded guilty to the charges.
Azhar Idris, 31, appeared before Syazwany and was fined RM4,500, while Haziq Akmal Yazid, 24, appeared before Farah and was fined RM50.

Azhar was charged with intentionally stopping his pickup truck in a dangerous manner in the middle of the traffic light intersection between Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Bukit Bintang at 2.07am on May 18.
The charge was framed under Section 48(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for road obstruction, which provides for a fine of RM1,000 to RM5,000, up to a year’s imprisonment, or both.
Haziq was charged with setting off flares and endangering public safety under Section 4 of the Minor Offences Act 1955, which covers offences involving the burning of materials in public places. The offence provides for a fine of up to RM50.
The other five men were jointly charged with causing a public nuisance under Section 290 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 35 of the same Code, which provides for a fine of up to RM400.
The cases were managed by deputy public prosecutors Hench Go, Iman Nurhidayah Ezam and Nurbatrisyia Razib. Khairul Muktar and Simret Singh represented the accused.
On Tuesday, police arrested 15 people linked to those who ignited flares on a pickup truck in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, as part of a promotional shoot.
Dang Wangi police chief Sazalee Adam said the suspects, aged between 17 and 30, were arrested at various locations, including Batu Caves, Kajang, Shah Alam, and Dengkil, following public tip-offs and intelligence gathering.
A viral video of the 2am incident showed several people on a pickup truck igniting flares and waving a banner with the text “6.6”, while two persons on scrambler motorcycles rode in circles around the vehicle.
Investigations revealed that the group was allegedly filming promotional content for a clothing retailer that has been operating for six years.
Sazalee said those hired for the stunt were each paid between RM50 and RM700. - FMT
