Hi friends,
I am to be charged tomorrow at 9 am, 15 February 2022 - yet again at the Cyber Crimes Court for the same case that I was charged with previously - when I wrote a post sharing the lived experience of a detainee.
I am charged under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act for allegedly using the internet with the intention to offend and annoy. This police report was filed against be by our government of Malaysia.
The last time I was charged, we were granted a DNAA as the courts found the charges to be defective.
2023 - New government, but what’s new? Human rights defenders are still being prosecuted for speaking the truth
While shaken up, I go in brave and bold tomorrow - determined to keep speaking up and shining light on the truth even if my voice shakes.
I call on the government to reform Section 233 of the law and pass a strong whistleblowers act.
It’s time we investigate allegations; not whistleblowers.

Hopefully the charge is withrawn. Becareful of lawyers. My ex agreed to do so if i withdraw my sd. I did and she did not. She is a lawyer 🤣
The charge was clearly not in compliance with Sections 152 to 154 of the CPC ie specific and definition, law n section said to hv committed the offence and the fact related to legal condition rqd by law.
The charge failed to adhere and did not comply to the strict language of S233 Com and Multimedia Act.
The charge also lacks the necessary legal ingredients.
Heidy is left in the dark guessing as to the charge made against her.
Her rights under Article 5 of the Federal Constitution (where she will not be deprived of personal liberty save in accordance with law) have been infringed by the non-compliance.
This with the provisions in the CPC.
She must have go againts the law. Why being dramatic when there's law to abide.
