Senior citizen can’t pay RM30,000 fine for post on Agong, starts six-month jail term

PUTRAJAYA — Johari Ismail, 67, has been sentenced to six months in prison after failing to pay a RM30,000 fine for posting false content about the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the 268th Conference of Rulers on Facebook.

In a statement, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said Johari started serving his sentence at Kajang Prison today.

His offence took place on Feb 8, with a post falsely claiming that the Conference of Rulers had voted to take action against the government over its handling of an additional document related to former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s case.

The father of four, who was charged under Section 233 (1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, was apprehended last night, with the court issuing an arrest warrant after he failed to attend proceedings.

At the Sepang Sessions Court, Johari appeared without legal representation while the prosecution was led by MCMC Deputy Public Prosecutor Faten Hadni Khairuddin.

Judge Ahmad Fuad Othman fined Johari RM30,000 fine, in default of six months in jail, and advised him to consider the consequences of his actions, noting that such posts damage both the government’s reputation and the Royal Institution.

The commission’s investigation team had identified the false post on Feb 9 at 12.59 pm at the MCMC Tower 1 in Cyberjaya. — February 25, 2025
