PETALING JAYA:
The Shah Alam shariah high court fined a counsellor for the eHati programme RM4,000 today after she pleaded guilty to exposing parts of her body at a motivational programme last year, an act deemed to have brought Islam into disrepute.

Syarie judge Zainal Abidin Kusmin meted out the fine, or a month’s jail in default, on Siti Zaama Rizal Boss, 49.

She paid the fine.

Siti Zaama was charged with exposing her body in a manner prohibited by Islamic law at a hall in a convention centre in Shah Alam between 8pm and midnight on Sept 29, 2024.

The charge was framed under Section 10(a) of the Syariah Criminal Enactment (Selangor) 1995, which carries a fine of up to RM5,000, up to three years’ imprisonment, or both, upon conviction.

Two other counsellors – Munirah Hishamshah, 37, and Bushra Zaki, 41 – pleaded not guilty to a similar charge at the same location between 2.30pm and 6.30pm on Sept 30 last year.

The court allowed them bail of RM3,000 with one surety each and set March 5 next year for mention.

Husaini Roslin appeared for the prosecution, while shariah lawyers Mazli Abdul Muin and Yusfa Hanis Yusoff represented Munirah and Bushra, respectively.
