It looks like local celeb Norjuma Habib Mohamed is facing some serious legal trouble. According to reports, four Magistrates’ Courts have issued arrest warrants for the television personality after she failed to appear in court for cases where she is accused of causing harm to three individuals. Magistrates Noorelynna Hanim Abd Halim, Illi Marisqa Khalizan, Fatin Dayana Jalil, and Nurul Izzah Shaharuddin issued the warrants for the 44-year-old after she and her bailor did not show up in court, despite multiple calls for her by court interpreters.
The public figure was reportedly seen in the court lobby around 10:30am, but the warrants were issued in the afternoon when she failed to appear in the courtrooms. As of now, the cases have been rescheduled for mention on 26th, 29th, 30th July, and 2nd August. Deputy Public Prosecutors R. Harvind, Hamizah Hisan, and Sheryn Yong, along with prosecuting officer Insp Shazwan Hasifi Shahrun, represented the prosecution.
If you wonder what Norjuma have done to put her in a position with the law, here’s a quick recap of what happened. On 25th April 2024, the businesswoman pleaded not guilty to charges of voluntarily causing hurt to Nepali security guard Neupane Tika Ram by kicking him in the left calf at a tuition centre in Bukit Damansara on 29th March 2018.
She also faces charges for allegedly causing harm to Mohd Afiq Ismail at business premises on 21st February 2017, and for slapping and scratching Nur Solehah Rosli at a condominium in Wangsa Maju on 18th October 2021. These charges fall under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison, a fine of up to RM2k, or both.
Additionally, the former TV host faces two charges of property damage at a condominium in Taman U-Thant. She is accused of damaging a boom gate, causing losses estimated at RM4.2k, and a CCTV camera, with estimated losses of RM500. These charges are framed under Section 427 of the Penal Code, carrying a maximum penalty of two years in prison, a fine, or both. Norjuma was granted bail with a total amount set at RM6,500 in one surety.
As of now, we can only hope for the best for Norjuma and that she cooperates with the law. The upcoming court dates will be crucial in determining the outcome of these serious allegations.
