Comedy club case: Hearing can be held at home, hospital, if accused continues to be absent from court, says judge

KUALA LUMPUR: Siti Nuramira Abdullah, who is accused of insulting Islam by admitting she is a Muslim who memorised 15 juzuk (chapters) of the Quran before revealing herself in a skimpy outfit at a comedy club, was today warned that the hearing of her case could be held at her home or hospital if she continued to not attend court proceedings.

Sessions Court judge Nor Hasniah Ab Razak issued the warning after lawyer R. Sivaraj, representing Siti Nuramira, 27, told the court that his client was not in court (again) on Wednesday (March 22) as she had been admitted to Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (PPUM).
