PETALING JAYA: The Seremban shariah high court today sentenced a street musician to a month’s jail and fined him RM2,000 for instructing his wife on deviant religious teachings related to the Millah Abraham cult at Felda Palong 3, Gemas, last year.

Judge Ruzita Ramli made the decision after Norasid Said, 50, confessed to teachings contrary to shariah law, Bernama reported.

He was charged with committing the offence from Sept 1-30 last year under Section 52 of the Syariah Criminal Enactment (Negeri Sembilan) 1992, amended in 2019, which carries a maximum penalty of two years’ imprisonment or a fine of RM5,000 or both.

The case was prosecuted by Abdul Wafi Ramli, Hafiz Lazim and Amil Yahya while Norasid was not represented by a lawyer.

When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
Earlier, Wafi requested the court to impose the maximum penalty considering that the act had harmed the faith of Muslim followers.

Norasid, who has three children, requested a lighter sentence as he is an HIV patient, self-employed and earns less than RM1,200 per month.

However, he claimed trial to two other charges linked to his teachings.

Ruzita allowed Norasid to be released on RM2,000 bail with two sureties. She set the next mention of the case for Oct 7.
