What happened?

There is no offence of watching porn in Malaysia. There is one for having it — and that is what magistrates actually fine people for. The three laws, with real 2026 figures.

The Attorney-General can stop any prosecution without giving a reason. How Article 145(3) works, why DNAA and acquittal are not the same, and where the reform stands.

There is no automatic 50/50 split in Malaysia. What the 2018 amendment actually changed, the percentages judges really awarded, and why the name on the geran does not decide it.

Holding information about someone else's alleged corruption is not the same as being offered a bribe. When section 25 of the MACC Act actually forces you to report, and what kills your whistleblower protection.

A written proposal for MADANI-series number plates was turned down, and the agency later ran its own version. The High Court awarded RM40,000 plus RM25,000 in costs.
