He was accused of commiting the offence in a post uploaded to the TechNave news portal on 10th February.

The charge sheet accuses Chan of publishing the ‘Top 10 Sugar Baby Universiti in Malaysia’ post with the intention to incite fear and public anxiety in the public, while abetting others to commit a criminal offence against public order.

If found guilty, he is liable to maximum 2 years jail time, or a fine, or both.

Section 505 of the Penal Code (Statements conducing to public mischief)
