PETALING JAYA: Adeline Chang, one of the two sisters who have gained recent online notoriety claims she will be charged in court on Thursday (Oct 24).
Adeline, the sibling of Alice Chang, was involved in controversial behaviour while being employed with two fast food chains.
Several Facebook pages which bear the name of “Adeline Chang”, claimed that she was going to be charged in court but did not state the offence involved.
“The MCMC gave me a letter, I need to appear in court on Oct 24,” read the posts on Wednesday (Oct 23).
The post then asked if she should plead guilty because of a family dispute over her bail, possible fines and legal fees.
A check on the e-kehakiman website showed that an individual named Chang Pei Yi will be charged in the Sepang Sessions Court before Judge Ahmad Fuad Othman at 9am on Thursday.
On June 23, the MCMC said in a statement that they had recorded the statement from a Facebook user, whom they did not name, over an offensive post against a child.
The MCMC said this was in response to a complaint made about the owner of the Facebook account “Adeline Chang”, who allegedly posted a picture of a child with an offensive caption.
A mobile phone and a SIM card were also seized, said the MCMC.
Under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, it is an offence to transmit obscene materials or anything aimed at offending or disturbing others.
It provides for a maximum fine of RM50,000 or imprisonment of up to a year, or both, upon conviction.
It is believed that Adeline Chang is the alias of Chang Pei Yi, who was fired from several jobs after posting controversial content on social media.
She is also believed to be the sister of Alice Chang, who has gained similar online notoriety.
