AGC Files Appeal Over Sentence Against Motoring Influencer, Brother

KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) today filed a notice of appeal against the Muar Magistrates’ Court decision to sentence motoring influencer Tengku Nizaruddin Tengku Zainudin and his younger brother, Tengku Abdul Aziz, to one month’s jail and a RM1,500 fine for lodging a false report.

In a statement, the AGC said the appeal was filed against the sentence handed down to Tengku Abdul Aziz, who pleaded guilty under Section 182 of the Penal Code for providing false information to a public servant.

An appeal was also filed against the sentence imposed on Tengku Nizaruddin, who pleaded guilty to abetting the provision of false information under Section 109 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 182 of the same code.

"This department refers to the Muar Magistrates’ Court decision on July 25, 2025, which imposed a sentence of one month’s imprisonment from the date of conviction on July 25, 2025, and a fine of RM1,500, in default three months’ imprisonment on both offenders, Tengku Abdul Aziz and Tengku Nizaruddin.

"After examining and considering the decision of the Muar Magistrates’ Court, this department has filed a notice of appeal today against the sentence handed down to both offenders," it said.

On July 25, the Muar Magistrates’ Court sentenced Tengku Nizaruddin, 38, also known as ‘Ija’, and Tengku Abdul Aziz, 30, to one month’s imprisonment and a RM1,500 fine after both pleaded guilty to the charge.

The court ordered both siblings to begin serving their jail terms on July 25 or face three months’ imprisonment if they failed to pay the fine.
