THERE was an outcry recently when Shalini Periasamy was fined a mere RM100 for posting videos issuing threats towards Rajeswary Appahu, a social media influencer. Rajeswary was found dead in her home, and it was suspected that she took her own life due to online harassment and death threats. Shalini pleaded guilty to a charge of using vulgar language to incite anger and disturb the peace. The offence was listed in the Minor Offences Act and the fine was the maximum sentence the court could impose.
