A Malaysian man was jailed for 10 months and fined $11,000 for mocking a Quran verse and insulting a former PM in a 2025 Facebook post.
A 48-year-old man in Malaysia, John Mule Alai, was sentenced to 10 months in prison and fined RM50,000 for a Facebook post in April 2025 that mocked a Quranic verse and insulted former Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi during his burial coverage.
The post, made under the handle “Bat Tuo Sai,” was flagged by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and led to a guilty plea under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
The court imposed the sentence considering the post’s offensive nature and potential to incite unrest, with a three-month jail term as a default if the fine is unpaid.
The case underscores Malaysia’s strict enforcement of laws against online content deemed disrespectful to religious sentiments.
