Pro-Pakatan Rakyat blogger Yusuf Al-Siddique, known by his blog name 'Milosuam', was today jailed for two years after being found guilty of causing fear among the people on the Lahad Datu intrusion two years ago.
Yusuf was in June 2013 charged under Section 505 of the Penal Code for publishing an alleged secret document that showed the police to be preparing for the possibility of an intrusion into Sabah.
The sentence on Yusuf was the maximum jail term under that particular provision of the Penal Code. However, a stay of sentence has been granted pending appeal.
He is the second Pakatan-linked blogger to be jailed in just two weeks.
Amizudin Ahmat, who blogs as 'SharpShooter', was on Jan 8 jailed for three months for contempt of court for contemptuous articles against former Information, Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim.
