Insulting Islam, Prophet Muhammad: Unemployed man jailed seven months, fined RM10,000 | Malay Mail

11 March 2019

Judge Hasbullah Adam passed the judgment on Mohamad Yazid Kong Abdullah, 52, after the latter maintained his plea of guilty recorded last Friday for having posted an offensive communication with the intention to cause annoyance on the Facebook account in the name of Yazid Kong at 8.21pm on February 24.

In mitigation, counsel Muhammad Syafiq Salleh, who represented Mohamad Yazid Kong, said his client apologised to the court and the whole Muslim community in the country for his action and appealed that he be imposed the most minimal jail term taking into account that he was a first offender and had pleaded guilty when he was first charged.

Last Friday, Mohamad Yazid Kong pleaded guilty on the charge of sending an offensive communication via the Facebook application using the profile name ‘Yazid Kong’, at 8.21pm on February 24, 2019.
