MUAR: A 40-year-old bachelor has been arrested for sending lewd and obscene SMS messages to several women here. He was nabbed at a furniture factory near Parit Jawa here on Wednesday by a team comprising officers from the police force and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). MCMC enforcement officer Enkatesulu Juval said the man was arrested under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1989 and faced a maximum fine of RM50,000 or six months’ jail, or both. MCMC began an investigation after several complaints from women who had received the lewd SMSes. “We have seized the handset and will check its contents as we also have reason to believe it could contain other evidence related to similar violations," he told reporters at the Magistrate’s Court here on Thursday
