KUALA LUMPUR: A factory operator was sentenced to one month in jail by the Magistrate’s Court after pleading guilty to threatening to kill his mother.
Magistrate Farah Nabihah Muhamad Dan ordered the sentence for Abdul Razak Manaf, 34, to be served from his date of arrest on December 22.
The man threatened his 72-year-old mother by saying “I will throw acid and kill you” at a house in Cheras.
The charge was framed under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, which carries a maximum penalty of seven years’ imprisonment, a fine, or both.
