Vivian Lee sentenced to six months’ jail over bak kut teh post


KUALA LUMPUR: The former girlfriend of controversial sex blogger Alvin Tan Jye Yee has been jailed six months by a Sessions Court here for uploading a Ramadan bak kut teh post on Facebook.

Judge Abdul Rashid Daud handed down the decision after the prosecution succeeded in proving the case against Vivian Lee May Ling, 27 (pic).

The sentence is to run from Friday.

However, Judge Abdul Rashid granted the defence’s application for the jail term be reduced to five months and 22 days after considering the eight days Lee had been under remand.

He also granted a stay but increased bail from RM10,000 to RM20,000 pending an appeal.
