Hasmiza, 51, allegedly made and initiated the transmission of a communication which was offensive in character using the DSV Entertainment YouTube channel with the intention of annoying others on April 29.

The charge, framed under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) and punishable under Section 233(3) of the same law, provides a maximum fine of RM50,000 or up to a year’s jail, or both if found guilty.

Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) deputy public prosecutor Fazril Sani Fadzil prosecuted, while Hasmiza was represented by lawyer Adnan Seman.

Judge Ahmad Fuad Othman allowed Hasmiza bail of RM5,000 with one surety and fixed Dec 7 for mention.

Media outlets previously reported that Vida uploaded a video titled “Muah Muah Raya” on the YouTube channel featuring a group of “drag queen” dancers, thus implicating her in allegedly promoting LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) elements.
