Just recently, a 28-year-old man from Teluk Intan, Perak was summoned to the police station to facilitate in an investigation. The man named Aiman showed up as promised but he forgot to do one thing: clear his phone of any material that could land him in trouble.
While having his statement taken down, the investigating officer found 14 pornographic pictures in his phone, which is obviously illegal in Malaysia. He was charged in Teluk Intan court but pleaded not guilty for possessing pornographic pictures in his phone. Aiman was later released with the bail set at RM2,000, according to Sinchew.
For some reason, this news had garnered a lot of netizens’ attention and some reckoned that there are more pressing issues in the country to be solved such as corruption and education issues.
“There are men in their 40s marrying girls that haven’t finished secondary school, and you’re charging this guy for having a few pictures?” a netizen commented.
Meanwhile, there were also some cheeky netizens who expressed serious concern over their friends’ safety.
“XXX, please format your phone asap, I don’t want you to be charged in court for the same reason,” a netizen said after tagging his friend in the comments.
