M’sian Woman Gets Fined RM40,000 for Claiming that Malays are Lazy

Judge Azaraorni Abd Rahman passed the sentence after Mariyah, 48, and Ezuan Hafsham both changed their pleas to guilty for the charges they faced during the trial.

In his judgment, he took into account the maximum facts of the case, the appeals, and the prosecution’s arguments, and ordered that Mariyah be jailed for six months if she failed to pay the fine, but the accused has settled it.

Mariyah’s lawyer, Kamal Hisham explained that Mariyah shares a lot of content focusing on motivation to share with the people.

“In producing the motivational video, it exceeded the legal boundaries, leading to the case being brought to court.”

Mariyah also assured that she is well aware of her mistake.
