Businessman Faces Over Six Years in Jail and Substantial Fines for Assault and Criminal Intimidation

A businessman has been sentenced to a total of six years and 10 months in prison and fined RM22,000. If he defaults on these fines, he faces an additional 21 years in jail, meaning he could remain incarcerated for a significant period.
Criminal Intimidation Sentence

For the charge of criminal intimidation under Section 506 of the Penal Code, the businessman received a five-year prison sentence and a RM10,000 fine. This conviction relates to threatening one of his bodyguards.
Hurting Religious Feelings

Under Section 298 of the Penal Code, for uttering words with the deliberate intent to hurt the religious feelings of others, the businessman was sentenced to one year in jail and a RM10,000 fine. This offence was heard by both of his bodyguards.
Voluntarily Causing Hurt Conviction

The businessman also received a 10-month jail sentence and a RM2,000 fine for voluntarily causing hurt to one of his bodyguards. These offences all occurred on April 13, 2021, outside a house in Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang.
Consecutive Jail Terms

Magistrate Siti Zubaidah Mahat ordered that all the jail sentences are to be served consecutively. This means the periods of imprisonment will be added together, rather than running concurrently, contributing to the total length of his incarceration.
