Stealing is a clear violation, and it’s a stark reminder that no one, not even social media influencers, can escape the consequences of their actions.

Recently, a Malaysian Influencer, Rumaisyah Yahya, was sentenced to one day in jail and fined RM400 for stealing several items worth more than RM100 from a supermarket at the Suria KLCC shopping center yesterday (Nov 2).

The accused was later apprehended by security personnel, and upon inspection, it was discovered that her bag contained items from the supermarket, and she was unable to provide a purchase receipt.

This offense reportedly happened at a supermarket inside the Suria KLCC shopping center on November 1st.

Jailed one day & fined RM400 for stealing​

In the proceedings, Magistrate Nurul Izzah Shaharuddin sentenced Rumaisyah to one day in jail and a RM400 fine after she pleaded guilty to stealing items.
The court also issued a three-day jail sentence for the woman in case she is unable to pay the fine.

The charge was filed under Section 380 of the Penal Code, which comes with a maximum imprisonment term of 10 years and the potential for a fine.
In the case of a second offense, both imprisonment and a fine can be imposed.

The accused requested a second chance​

Deputy Public Prosecutor Sheryn Yong Shi Yee sought an appropriate penalty to serve as a lesson for the accused.

However, Rumaisyah’s lawyer, Muhammad Rhastdan Abdul Wahab, requested a lenient jail sentence and a minimal fine, pointing out that the accused’s dependent child had an unstable income and was providing for a 65-year-old mother.

He mentioned that the dependent child was involved in a first-time offense, and the stolen items were essential necessities.

“The dependent child has repented and is asking for a second chance,” he said.
