A factory operator featured in a recent viral road rage video was fined RM1,500 by the magistrate’s court here today with committing mischief.
Magistrate Nur Azzuin Abdul Moati fined Muhamad Amir Muaz Ismail, 30, after he pleaded guilty to breaking the left side mirror of a car belonging to Lye Sein Tatt, 77, when the charge was read to him.
She also ordered Amir Muaz to be imprisoned for six months if he failed to settle the fine.
Amir Muaz admitted to committing the offence on Monday at the Bayan Indah roundabout in Bayan Lepas about 6.50pm on Sept 24.
He was charged under Section 427 of the Penal Code which carries a maximum two years’ imprisonment or fine or both upon conviction.
Assistant Superintendent Pang Meng Tuck prosecuted while Amir Muaz was represented by Edmund Anthony Haman.
Earlier, Edmund appealed to the court for a minimum fine, stressing that the accused was the sole breadwinner in his family. He also had to care for his mother.
“At the time of the incident, my client had acted as such out of anger after being labelled gangster. Also, this is his first offence
“My client also regretted that the incident occured and promised not to repeat it again,” he added.
Amir Muaz’s action was captured on camera and has since gone viral, courting widespread condemnation.
