Man fined RM4,900 for promoting immoral acts via social media
KUALA TERENGGANU: A man who presented himself in a feminine manner was fined RM4,900 by the Syariah High Court here today for promoting immoral acts via social media last year. Senior judge Kamalruazmi Ismail meted out the fine after the accused, Mohamad Haikal Izzuwan Adun, 20, from Kelantan, pleaded guilty to the charge. The court also ordered that he serve six months in jail if he failed to pay the fine. In his judgment, Kamalruazmi said the offence had serious social repercussions and brought shame to the accused's home state, particularly since his case had viral and was linked to a police raid on an alleged gathering in Kemumin, near Pengkalan Chepa in Kelantan. "We were created as men, and we must accept that. This sentence is intended as a lesson, to prevent a repeat of actions that cast Kelantan in a negative light," he said. Haikal was charged with encouraging and promoting immoral behaviour through a social media platform at a homestay in Kemaman at 10pm on Oct 1, 2024. Authorities also seized 13 items related to the case. He was charged under Section 42 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Takzir) Enactment 2001 (Terengganu). The court was earlier told that Haikal was also arrested on July 20 after failing to appear for earlier proceedings. He was brought to court the following day and released on RM2,000 bail with one surety. He had been charged separately at the Kemaman Syariah Lower Court for cross-dressing. On July 22, he was fined RM2,500 or four months' jail.

Male makeup artist fined RM4,900 for offering sexual services
PETALING JAYA: A male makeup artist was fined RM4,900 by the Terengganu Syariah High Court today for offering massage and sexual services to male clients nine months ago. Syariah judge Kamalruazmi Ismail handed down the sentence after the accused, Muhammad Haikal Izzuan Adun, 20, from Ketereh, Kelantan, pleaded guilty when the charges were read out, reported Kosmo. According to the charges, the accused was alleged to have encouraged people to commit immoral acts by offering massage and sexual services through the MiChat application. Based on the case facts, intelligence led to a raid at a homestay where the accused was found with a man believed to be his client at 11.30pm on October 2, 2024. When arrested, he was found wearing a headscarf, shirtless with only a batik sarong, and wearing makeup. Muhammad Haikal Izzuan was charged under Section 42 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Takzir) (Terengganu) Enactment 2001, which provides for a maximum fine of RM5,000 or imprisonment up to two years, or both if convicted. The accused, who has been cared for by his grandmother since childhood, apologised in his plea and promised not to repeat such acts. 'Don't jail me. If I do it again, arrest me. Give me a chance to change,' he was quoted a saying.
