Nine Selangor FC supporters faced charges in the Magistrate’s Court today for obstructing public servants and possessing unauthorized flares during an incident on February 1.
One of the accused, 44-year-old AlFadli Awaludin, pleaded not guilty to using offensive language towards a public officer in front of Magistrate Noor Mazrinie Mahmood. The alleged incident took place around 7 pm at Dataran Jambatan Angkat, Kuala Terengganu. AlFadli is accused of saying, “takkan mahu bakar suar di dalam hutan, nak suruh beruk tengok ke” to a public officer, an offense punishable under Section 14 of the Minor Offenses Act 1955.
The court offered bail at RM1,000 and set March 5 for the appointment of a lawyer and document submission. The prosecution was led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Nur Anith Nabilah Rusli, while AlFadli was represented by lawyer Ahmad Nur Faid Afiq Aziz. If convicted, he could face a maximum fine of RM100 or up to one month in jail if the fine is unpaid.
In the same court, three other individuals admitted to possessing unauthorized flares and were fined RM3,000 each. Muhammad Hafiz Azim Abdul Halim, 25; Muhammad Haiqal Jemerizan, 22; and Mohd Amrin Abdul Halim, 29, were found to have red flares without a valid license between 8:45 pm and 9:30 pm on February 1 at the Kuala Terengganu District Police Headquarters. They were charged under Section 8 of the Explosives Act 1957, which carries a maximum seven-year prison term, a RM10,000 fine, or both. The court ruled that failure to pay the fine would result in five months’ imprisonment.
Separately, five more Selangor FC supporters were fined between RM2,800 and RM3,200 for the same offense of possessing unlicensed flares. Those fined included Muhammad Aliff Aiman Norazman, 23; Syafiq Waliuddin Mohd Anuar, 25; Hamizan Zafri Ahmad Fauzansah, 25; Muhammad Ashraff Azhar Mohd Radzi, 23; and Noor Akmal Danish Noor Azli, 26. They face four months in prison if the fines remain unpaid.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Ely Nazihah Ahmad Yunus handled the prosecution, while all five accused were represented by lawyer Ahmad Nur Faid Afiq Aziz.
