Remember the woman who partially “stripped” at a comedy club last year?
Today, the 27-year old who was at the centre of a controversial open mic stand-up comedy act at the Crackhouse Comedy Club, was fined RM8,000 in default four months’ jail by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.
According to a report by the New Straits Times, Siti Nuramira Abdullah also pleaded guilty to an alternative charge under Section 298 of the Penal Code as she was also accused of deliberately wounding the religious feelings of others during her act.
It was also reported that Siti Nuramira had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges when she was first charged on July 13, 2022.
However, according to her lawyer Ramesh N. P. Chandran, she had decided to change her plea after the prosecution offered an alternative charge.
The New Straits Times also reported that the deputy public prosecutor, Abdul Malik Ayob informed the court that the accused was offered the alternative charge following the decision by the Attorney General’s Chambers to accept her March 16 representation letter.
Her lawyer had also asked for a lenient sentence on the grounds that his client did not have a prior conviction.
According to reports, he said:
She was married four months ago and wants a peaceful life. As a wife, she wants to devote herself to her marriage… she was very remorseful and apologised to all parties involved.

Siti Nuramira had allegedly made degrading religious remarks and took off her baju kurung during her open mic routine on stage.
In the 45-second video that previously went viral, she also claimed to be a Muslim and to have memorised 15 chapters (juzuk) of the Quran.
