Student opts to go to jail for serban offence


KOTA BARU: A religious school student was found guilty and slapped with a RM90 fine for wearing a serban (Muslim headgear) while riding a motorcycle.

Ahmad Nasir Daud, 27, however, opted to serve a two-day default jail term rather than pay the fine. Magistrate Tengku Amalin A’shah Putri Sultan Ismail Petra denied a stay of execution submitted by Ahmad Nasir’s counsel Ahmad Rizal Effende.
