High Court issues writ to seize social media influencer Caprice’s assets after he failed to pay RM8,000 in costs from a defamation lawsuit.
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has issued an order for the seizure of assets belonging to social media influencer Caprice.
This follows his failure to pay RM8,000 in costs awarded against him in a defamation lawsuit.
The writ of seizure and sale was issued by senior assistant registrar Qasiratul Jannah Usmani Othman on December 3.
It was obtained by shipping company CEO Datuk Seri R Jeyenderan against Caprice, whose real name is Ariz Ramli.
The total sum to be recovered is RM8,000 awarded on October 15, plus RM320 in allocatur and costs for the writ’s issuance.
The court order authorises the seizure and potential sale of the defendant’s movable property to settle the debt.
Jeyenderan’s lawyers confirmed that bailiffs attempted to execute the writ at Caprice’s Mont Kiara residence.
“Today, we proceeded to the premises believed to be Caprice’s residence together with two court bailiffs,” said counsel Muniandy Vestanathan.
He stated that despite ringing the doorbell several times, there was no response from inside the apartment.
The execution failed as apartment management informed them Caprice’s tenancy ended last year and he had moved out.
On October 15, Judge Roslan Mat Nor granted Jeyenderan an interim injunction in his defamation suit.
The judge also ordered Caprice to pay the RM8,000 in costs within two weeks, a payment which was not made.
Jeyenderan filed the suit on July 21, 2025, over posts made on Instagram on July 10.
The posts included photographs and videos allegedly linking Jeyenderan to criminal activities without evidence.
He is seeking RM3 million in damages for reputational harm, along with special, general and exemplary damages.
