KAJANG:
A mechanic was today slapped with a maximum RM100 fine by the magistrates’ court here for insulting behaviour after a video showing him scolding a toll clerk and kicking the wall of a toll counter at the Batu 9 Toll Plaza went viral on social media.

Magistrate Nurul Hafzan Ab Aziz meted out the fine on Abdul Rahim Ramlan, 31, after he pleaded guilty to the charge.

He was charged with using insulting words towards Ridwana Umairah Mahadi, 22, with the intent to provoke a breach of the peace at the toll plaza near Taman Cuepacs, Cheras, at 1.38am last Sunday.

The charge, framed under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955, provides a maximum fine of RM100.

Meanwhile, at the sessions court, Rahim pleaded guilty to self-administration of methamphetamine by injecting the drug into his body at the Kajang police headquarters (IPD), at 9pm last Monday.

The charge is framed under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and read together with Section 38B of the same law.

He faces a prison term of up to seven years and three strokes of the cane.

Judge Mazuliana Abdul Rashid did not allow bail and fixed Dec 13 for mention of the case to allow for submission of the pathology and chemical reports before sentencing.

Deputy public prosecutor Faelly Jeffrey Lanjungan appeared for the prosecution.
