Ketua Pemuda Bersatu bebas tuduhan berkait kenyataan di TikTok

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's National Justice Court has acquitted Pemuda Bersatu President Hilman Idham of charges related to a potentially harmful statement posted on TikTok. Justice Nurul Izzah Hasan Basri ruled that after reviewing witness accounts and arguments from both the prosecution and defense, the prosecution failed to prove elements of the charge under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code.

"Consequently, the accused is acquitted and released without being required to provide a defense against the charge under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code," she stated. The court also ordered the return of RM4,000 bail money to Hilman. On August 20, 2025, at 2:09 PM, Hilman, 37, was charged with making a statement on his TikTok account, alfah.channel.tv, that could incite public disorder and potentially lead to harm to public security.

Hilman was represented by lawyers Rafique Rashid Ali and Nur Mustanir Abd Nor, while the prosecution was handled by Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurul Farhanah Arul Hisham.
