The administrative assistant entered his plea after the charge was read out to him before magistrate Farah Nabihah Muhamad Dan. He faces up to five years' jail, a fine, or both upon conviction under Section 509 of the Penal Code. Clad in a black jacket and grey trousers, the father of three who was unrepresented, appeared calm as he stood near the dock during proceedings. Prosecuting officer Inspector M. Alli Nangai offered bail at RM5,000 with one surety. She also requested the court to fix a date for document submission and the appointment of counsel. However, a National Legal Aid Foundation representative appealed for a lower bail amount. "The accused earns RM2,000 a month and is the sole breadwinner of his family. "His wife is unemployed, and they have three children, one of whom is disabled. "The bail should be reasonable and not punitive." Farah Nabihah set bail at RM2,500 with one surety.
