On October 6, the Magistrate's Court in Kuala Krai imposed a RM5,000 fine and a nine-month prison sentence on a 36-year-old fishmonger, Tuan Ahmad Farid Tuan Mat, after he admitted to watching his neighbor's wife bathe. The incident occurred at around 11:30 am on September 28, in Jalan Halimah Guchil, where the accused was found guilty of peeping at the 26-year-old victim, causing her fear and anxiety.
The charge was under Section 507A (1) of the Penal Code, which, if convicted, can lead to up to three years imprisonment or a fine, or both. Deputy Public Prosecutor Mazlinda Mohd Nor requested a strong deterrent sentence, but Tuan Ahmad's lawyer, Farazalila Fauzi, argued for a lower fine, citing his client's single status, daily income of around RM50, and responsibility for his 66-year-old mother, who suffers from cancer.
