Kinabatangan MP sentenced to 1 month jail

Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin, the Member of Parliament of Kinabatangan has been sentenced to jail of 1 month for unlawful polygamy where he got married to 31 year old actress Zizie Azette A Samad without the Syariah court’s consent. Syariah Court Judge Wan Mahyuddin Wan Muhammad, the Gombak Timur Lower Syariah Court Judge passed the sentence where Bung and Zizie pleaded guilty to. according to the Federal Constitution’s Article 48, a state assemblyman or a Member of Parliament will have to vacate the post if they are sentenced to jail of not less than a year or a fine of not less than RM2,000.

Wan Muhammad said “The court hopes that this case will be an important lesson for the public in understanding the concept of polygamy in Islam and also the importance of the institution of marriage. Even though the court has previously given a maximum sentence but many still commit the same offence. The court has decided that it needs to hand a severe punishment in the case for the betterment of the society. The court hopes that this punishment will give a clear picture and encourage the public to follow the procedures provisioned in the Islamic legal system. Bung Mokhtar should have respected the law because he is a lawmaker and represents the people. Zizie Izette is popular Muslim actress and both are idols. Their actions will be reciprocated by the public. If they don’t follow the rules... the rules can belittle by the people,”
