KUALA LUMPUR: A factory worker didn't learn his lesson after spending two months in prison as he was jailed again by the same Sessions Court for a similar offence he committed a year ago.

This time, 37-year-old Sharil Mohd Sarif, will be behind bars for 10 months after he pleaded guilty to two counts of insulting the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Raja Permaisuri Agong.
