Lorry driver fined RM30,000 for sending ex-wife’s explicit videos, photos
Suhaimi Yusof tells court he acted out of anger after claiming his ex-wife had cheated on him and says he is prepared to go to jail.
Suhaimi Yusof, a 50-year-old lorry driver, was sentenced to a RM30,000 fine by the Seremban sessions court. He admitted to transmitting explicit videos and photos of his ex-wife to her new husband via WhatsApp on March 22, 2023. The judge, Shahrul Rizal Majid, fined him RM6,000 for each of the five charges or two months imprisonment per charge if the fine was not paid.
The offense was committed under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which imposes a maximum penalty of RM50,000 fine, up to one year in jail, or both upon conviction. Suhaimi stated that his actions were driven by anger following allegations of his ex-wife's infidelity. He was prepared to serve the jail term if required.
Suhaimi's case was prosecuted by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), with Mohamad Farhan Kamarudin representing the prosecution, while Suhaimi was not represented.
