Penganggur dijel 3 bulan, denda RM400 menyamar pegawai SPRM

Mahkamah Majistret Selayang has sentenced a former unemployed man, Mohd Izham Mohd Zainuddin, to three months in jail and a fine of RM400 for impersonating a SPRM (Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia) official. The 34-year-old was arrested on July 30 and appeared in court, admitting his guilt. The court also ordered him to serve a one-month jail term if he fails to pay the fine.

Izham is accused of posing as a SPRM worker and showing a photo of the logo to a 69-year-old man, knowing he was not a civil servant. The offense occurred at a house in Taman Selasih Fasa 2, Batu Caves, Selangor, under Section 171 of the Penal Code, which allows for up to three months in jail or a fine of RM400 or both. At another hearing, Izham admitted to coercing a 55-year-old woman into handing over RM31,500 for land purchase purposes at lot 211, Jalan Besar Selayang Indah Batu Caves, from June 2 to June 22, 2026, under Section 420 of the Penal Code, which allows for a minimum one-year jail term and a maximum of 10 years, along with a fine if he is found guilty.

The court did not grant bail to the defendant and set the case for hearing on November 17. The case is being handled by Assistant Crown Prosecutor Birr Zamier Abu Bakar, while Izham is not represented by a lawyer.
