A Felda oil palm farmer was fined RM12,000 by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court today for making a threatening post against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on his Facebook page in August last year.

Judge Siti Aminah Ghazali handed down the sentence on Samsuri Ramli, 45, after he pleaded guilty to the charge.

The court also ordered the accused to serve six months in jail if he failed to pay the fine.
