  "account": "Mohd Suhaimi Yusof, a 50-year-old lorry driver, pleaded guilty in Seremban Magistrate's Court to five charges of sending explicit photos and videos of his ex-wife to him via WhatsApp in 2023. Magistrate Shahrul Rizal Majid sentenced Suhaimi to a RM30,000 fine and two months imprisonment for each charge, if he fails to pay the fine. According to the charges, Suhaimi is accused of using WhatsApp illegally to send three photos and two video recordings of an intimate nature to a male individual with the intention of arousing him. All the acts were allegedly committed on March 22, 2023, at a premises in Mantin, Seremban. The accused is said to have committed an offense under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588), which can be punished under Section 233(3) of the same Act. If convicted, Section 233(3) prescribes a fine not exceeding RM50,000 or imprisonment for up to one year or both. The accused received several explicit photos and videos from the accused, who was also his former spouse, which caused him distress and humiliation. The accused, who was not represented by a lawyer, made no appeal against the sentence and accepted the penalty if jailed. Suhaimi told the court that he now works as a lorry driver and has four children, three of whom are still in school and are being cared for by his ex-wife. He claimed that he acted out of grief and anger after being accused of being cheated by the woman in question. The prosecution was handled by Deputy Commissioner/Officer of the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (SKMM), Mohamad Farhan Kamarudin.",
