FMT has learned that the charge against the comedian will be framed under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities.

Last week, the co-founder of the Crackhouse Comedy Club was arrested in connection with the videos after he had his statements recorded at the Dang Wangi police station.

He was released a day later after spending a night at the district police headquarters lockup.

Several police reports had been lodged against Rizal, including one by Bersatu’s associate wing, for allegedly insulting Malays.

His comedy club was in the spotlight after a woman allegedly insulted Islam while performing when she claimed to have memorised 15 chapters of the Quran before proceeding to discard her tudung and baju kurung to reveal another set of clothes underneath.

The woman, Siti Nuramira Abdullah, has claimed trial for causing disharmony among the Muslim community while her boyfriend, Alexander Navin Vijayachandran, pleaded not guilty to uploading insulting content on social media.
