KOTA KINABALU: A man, who was previously freed from a charge of insulting the modesty of PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli, has been ordered to enter his defence by the High Court here on Friday (May 5).
Two years ago, Daing Muhammad Reduan Bachok, from Selangor, was discharged and acquitted of the charge of insulting Rafizi’s modesty, then the PKR vice-president, without his defence being called.
The trial judge had on Nov 5, 2021 discharged and acquitted Daing after ruling that there was no prima facie case against him. The charge under Section 509 of the Penal Code, which was for insulting the modesty of any person by word, through sound, gesture or exhibiting any object intentionally, provided a maximum jail sentence of five years or fine, or both, upon conviction.
