SEPANG: A 25-year-old woman suspected of supporting the IS militant group was charged in the Sessions Court today.
Ummi Khalsom Bahok, who works as an assistant credit controller, faces alternative charges of giving support to IS or travelling to Syria to get married to one Aqif Hussein Rahaiza for the benefit of the militant group.
Both charges come under the Penal Code. Ummi Kalsom was not represented and no plea was recorded.
Judge Aizatul Akmal Maharani set Nov 20 for mention for the case to be transferred to the High Court. The charge does not have a provision for bail.
Ummi Khalsom, who was attired in black robes and a veil, was seen to be calm as she nodded to indicate she understood the charge read out by a court interpreter.
If found guilty, she can be jailed for life or up to 30 years or fined. She is also liable to forfeiture of any property used or intended to be used in connection with the commission of the offence.
It is alleged that she was to have boarded an AirAsia flight to Brunei en route to Istanbul, from where she would have gone to Syria to marry Aqif, a member of IS.
