ALIRAN is shocked that a retiree was fined RM2,000 by a Sessions Court recently for having insulted Health Minister Datuk Seri Adham Baba. And the retiree is to serve a month’s imprisonment if he fails to pay the fine.
The retiree made the “insulting” remark in his Facebook account “with the intention to hurt others”. It is surmised that the “others” included someone in the Health Ministry who read the comment, which the judge noted was not malicious or overboard.
