ivian Lee May Ling, the former girlfriend of controversial sex blogger Alvin Tan Jye Yee, has been jailed six months by a Sessions Court here for uploading a Ramadan bak kut teh (pork stew) post on Facebook.
Judge Abdul Rashid Daud handed down the decision after the prosecution succeeded in proving the case against Lee, 27.
The sentence is to run from Friday.
However, Judge Abdul Rashid granted the defense’s application for the jail term be reduced to five months and 22 days after considering the eight days Lee had been under remand.
He also granted a stay but increased bail from 10,000 ringgit to 20,000 ringgit (US$2,436 to $4,872) pending an appeal.
