I don’t know if any Malaysian man has ever done this from inside Malaysia and jailed for it.

Shahrom “Abangaim” Mahadi (born 1965), a security guard and father of 6 took photos of himself and another man engaging in homosexual acts, and made them available online between August 2006 and May 2009 at 6 sites, 5 on blogspot and one on geocities.

Purpose: to get buyers for his self-made pr0n VCD. I mean, most desperate-for-money guys in Malaysia, at their very worst, would resort to robbery, drug dealing or similar, but this guy has breached the extreme.

If there’s such a thing as second-wave embarrassment, he had to admit in court that in that 3 years, he did not manage to sell even 1 VCD, only a few enquiries from “curious people asking about his lifestyle.”

Trawling discussion forums on him, I could find many references to his physical shortcomings, even though at first glance he does not look like he needed acne treatments.

He deleted the blogs in May 2009 after he was arrested.

In another blog, with last entry on 26th April 2009 he listed himself as a golf course supervisor at Palm Course, The Legends Golf & Country Resort, Johor, with a photo of him at the golf course.

But in court he was quoted to have said that he lost another managerial job at another golf course at Pulai Spring Resort, Johor Bahru, hence had to resort to working as a security guard.

On 3rd June 2010, he was sentenced to 6 months’ jail by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court for “improper use of the Internet on 27th February 2009.”

Case report.

His Facebook page lists his relationship status as “in an open relationship” despite the fact that it was revealed in court that he is married with 6 kids. It also has his handphone number, lists his address as Kulai, Johor and the account has 23 friends.

He created his MySpace page on 26th April 2009 and last logged in 14th May 2010 (as of the time of writing) and also listed his status has single.
