A Malaysian single father in Batu Pahat, Johor, is going to jail for 3 months after pleading guilty to stealing a bunch of bananas.

Muhammad Fadil Ismail, 35, who has 3 kids pleaded guilty after the charges were read out in front of Magistrate Nurasidah A Rahman, who then sentenced him to three months in prison.

According to the charges, Fadil was accused of stealing a bunch of bananas belonging to a 56-year-old man at Parit Jaya, Kampung Sungai Bagan Laut, Rengit, at 9:45 AM on January 4.

The accused was charged under Section 379 of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of imprisonment for up to seven years, a fine, or both, while for a second offence, the penalty includes both imprisonment and a fine.

Bananas went missing too often

The complainant discovered that ‘Rastali’ bananas planted in his kebun or orchard were frequently stolen, reported Berita Harian.

Unable to tolerate the constant thefts, the owner installed a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera in his orchard to identify what was going on, and he finally identified the culprit behind the incidents.

For illustration purposes only

The accused was caught in the act, and he was seen cutting down a banana tree before fleeing with the fruit.

The owner of the plantation then made a report at the Rengit Police Station on January 4, which led to the accused’s arrest on the same day.

The prosecution was handled by Deputy Public Prosecutor, Farah Wahidah Mohd Sharip, and Prosecuting Officer Inspector Ling Shao Shen, while the accused was represented by Kamarularifin Nordin from the National Legal Aid Foundation (YBGK).
