(Bernama) - The High Court has ordered a Rela member to pay a former guest relations officer RM100,000 as damages for taking a picture of her relieving herself in a truck five years ago.
Justice Tengku Datuk Maimun Tuan Mat also told Mohamad Tahir Osman, 45, to pay costs and 8% interest until full settlement to Maslinda Ishak, 31, who is now a dental nurse. The judge said what Tahir did was outside the scope of his duty which was to maintain security. She said that in taking the picture, Tahir had caused emotional damage to Maslinda. The incident happened after Maslinda and several colleagues were arrested by Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department (Jawi) enforcement officers and Rela members during a raid at Kelab De Vegas in Jalan Imbi here at 11.30pm on March 21, 2003. After the arrest, they were led into a truck. At 12.50am, when the truck was at Jalan Jejaka 5, Taman Maluri, Cheras, Maslinda asked to go to the toilet but was denied permission. Instead, she was scolded and told to relieve herself in the truck. She did what she was told behind a scarf held by several friends but suddenly Tahir came, pushed the friends aside, pulled the scarf and photographed her. Maslinda brought the suit on April 25, 2003. She is seeking RM5mil in damages from Tahir, the Rela director-general, Jawi and the Government. The judge ruled that the Rela director-general, Jawi and the Government could not be associated with Tahir’s actions. EDITOR'S NOTE: Malaysia Today wrote about this matter on 16 January 2008 in an article called Malays, the enemy of Islam (read the article here: http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/1252/46/). Recently, a police report was made against Raja Petra Kamarudin and Malaysia Today in relation to this article.
