An unemployed man has pleaded guilty to extorting a woman over a four-month period in what authorities say was a intimidation scheme. Nazirul Jasmi admitted to the offence during legal proceedings, acknowledging that he had instilled fear in the victim while demanding RM200 in cash.
The incident occurred near Sungai Melaka in the Kampung Morten area, where the suspect allegedly confronted the woman and made threats to coerce payment. The sustained nature of the extortion, spanning several months, indicates a pattern of predatory behaviour targeting the victim.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about street-level crime and intimidation tactics in residential areas. Authorities have taken action following the victim's report, leading to the suspect's apprehension and subsequent confession. The matter is now proceeding through the legal system for further judicial determination.
