Duo who harassed MBSA officers sentenced to 14 days jail

Two people who harassed a Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) traffic enforcement officer was sentenced to 14 days in jail by the Shah Alam Sessions Court today.

Lor Ka Hoo, 35 and Tat Sit Fun, 30 both pleaded guilty for the offense under Section 353 of the Penal Code for using criminal force to deter a public servant from carrying out his or her duties.

Magistrate P. Sarulatha ordered a RM3,000 fine per person, failing which they would have to serve another seven days in jail.

They were released on RM2,000 bail each pending their appeal against the sentencing.

On Thursday, a two-minute video showing the MBSA officer Nurul Ain Isa harassed by the couple went viral.

Nurul Ain said the duo got angry after she issued a traffic summon to the woman at Bukit Rahman Putra, Sungai Buloh for failing to display a parking coupon.

Nurul Ain said she explained that the summon cannot be retracted, which angered the couple further. In the video, the duo can be seen taking photos of Nurul Ain and obstructing her in carrying out her duties.
