KUALA LUMPUR, Oct. 26 – The six-month prison sentence handed down by a Kuantan Sessions court judge against a fish deliverer for his Facebook comment against the police on Facebook was too extreme, said the spokesman. lawyer Syahredzan Johan.
Assistant DAP deputy Lim Kit Siang said that although the comment posted was not up to company standards, the prosecutor's decision to prosecute the individual was disappointing.
"I recognize that the law is still applicable and binding, but the federal government has expressed its intention to amend this section," he said in a statement, referring to section 233 (1) (a) of the Law on Communications and Multimedia.
"On this basis, the Attorney General should not initiate any prosecution until the amendment has been approved by Parliament."
Syahredzan reiterated that in general, if the law left the court with the discretion to impose a fine, a term of imprisonment or both, the fine should be imposed first before l & # 39; imprisonment.
He responded to the previous report released today that the Court of Sessions had sentenced Mohd Hannan Ibrahim for publishing shocking remarks about the death of two police officers in an accident on the East Coast Expressway (LPT) last Tuesday.
Today, Judge Siti Aminah Ghazali sentenced 27-year-old Mohd Hannan of Kampung Parit Tengah, Pekan, after pleading guilty.
The accused was charged with using his Facebook account to write an insulting comment about a publication on the "Komuniti Kuantan" website about the deaths of the two policemen at 23:30 on 23 October.
Last Tuesday, Sergeant Major Roslan Maon, 50, and Constable Watson Edin, 23, were killed after their patrol car skidded and struck a metal guardrail at KM183 of the LPT near Maran.
