'Ah Long' runner fined RM1,500 for splashing red paint on house
BATU PAHAT: An oil palm labourer who acted as a runner for an unlicensed moneylender was fined RM1,500 by the magistrate’s court here today.
A 39-year-old oil palm labourer, Mohamad Amin Rosnan, was fined RM1,500 and sentenced to three months in jail for splashing red paint on a 58-year-old debtor's house in Batu Pahat, Malaysia. Mohamad pleaded guilty to the act of mischief, which occurred on June 10, and the court considered his guilty plea and mitigation before imposing the fine and jail term.
The victim, who discovered the damage through a WhatsApp message, was at a coffee shop when he received the message and later found the paint-splattered house. CCTV footage showed Mohamad committing the act with an accomplice, who has since been charged.
