The Petaling Jaya Sessions Court today fixed Nov 1 to hear the case of an Arts Culture and Heritage Academy (Aswara) student charged with posting threatening words on Facebook early this year.

Judge Aslam Zainuddin fixed the date after being informed by Mohamad Tasyrif Tajudin's counsel, Mohd Radzlan Jalaludin, that he had received all the necessary documents from the prosecution.

NONE On Jan 18, Mohamad Tasyrif, 25, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

He is charged under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 with knowingly using the Internet application with the intention of threatening others.

He was alleged to have left the comment " ke nak aku baling bom petrol di sana plak?... harga boleh runding ..." (or you want me to throw petrol bomb there? Price is negotiable) on the social networking site.

The first year film-making student was alleged to have posted the comment from a house in B10-17-20, Blok 10, Jalan PJS 2B/1, Desa Mentari 2, Petaling Jaya at 10am on Jan 10.

He faces a fine of up to RM50,000 or up to a year in jail or both if convicted.

Deputy public prosecutor Siti Aisyah Ahmad prosecuted.
