  "account": "In Penang, a 22-year-old man, Muhammad Mukhris Sulaiman, has been charged with secretly filming four women while they used a factory toilet and possessing obscene videos, according to Berita Harian. Muhammad Mukhris pleaded not guilty to all five charges and opted for trial after they were read in court. For the first four allegations, he is accused of filming the women at a factory in Bukit Minyak, Central Seberang Perai district, between September 2 and September 23. These charges under Section 509 of the Penal Code carry a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment, a fine, or both upon conviction. Additionally, he faces a charge of possessing several obscene videos, framed under Section 292 of the Penal Code, with a potential jail term of up to three years, a fine, or both upon conviction. The prosecution was handled by Siti Nur Amalina Harun, and Muhammad Mukhris was represented by lawyer V Sivakumar. He was granted bail of RM15,000 for all charges and was prohibited from approaching the alleged victims until the trial concludes. The case is set to be heard again on November 19 for the submission of documents.",
