PETALING JAYA:
A man has been jailed for six months after he failed to pay a RM50,000 fine for posting a video that insulted Islam.

Dressed in a green t-shirt and jeans, Nor’muzil Razalli was escorted by police from the Sepang sessions court to carry out his sentence at the Kajang Prison.

This was confirmed by Sepang district police chief Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof, according to a Sinar Harian report.

Nor’muzil, 39, was fined by judge Ahmad Rizki Abdul Jalil after pleading guilty to uploading a video that insulted Islam last Saturday.

He was charged under Section 233 (1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities by uploading the video with the intention of annoying others.

Deputy public prosecutor Nor Azizah Aling prosecuted, while Nor’muzil was unrepresented.

Nor’muzil was arrested at his house in Bukit Kuchai, Puchong, on Sunday over the video.

He was believed to have been assaulted by those who were angry with him. A 28-second-long video clip on Facebook showed him with a bloodied face. In the video, people could be heard berating him for insulting their faith.
