A shop assistant has been fined RM5,000 for possessing 67 pornographic pictures and 55 obscene videos on his mobile phone.

Kosmo reported that Muhammad Fitri Ishak, 26, who works as an assistant at a coconut milk shop, pleaded guilty to the charges before Magistrate Nur ‘Atiqah Sapari.

The court ordered the accused to serve an eight-month prison sentence if he fails to pay the fine, in addition to the case items being returned to the prosecutor to be forfeited and disposed of after the expiry of the period. 

The accused paid the fine.

According to the charges, Muhammad Fitri was found to have illicit content on his phone on February 16th of last year at Taiping Hospital.

The accused is charged under Section 292 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of up to 3 years or a fine, or both.

Muhammad Fitri appealed for a lighter sentence, as he needed to support his family with a salary of only RM1,200 and because he regretted the crime.

He was represented by lawyer Ng Wei Jun from the National Legal Aid Foundation.

However, Siti Hajar asked the court to give a sentence that could teach the accused and the public a lesson.
