Vaping in mid-air from KL-KK lands 30-year-old medic in court, RM5,000 fine, and a four-month jail term

KOTA KINABALU, Sept 13 — An offshore medic was fined RM5,000, in default, four months’ jail by a Magistrate’s Court here today for vaping in a flight.

Mohd Yasir Dullah, 30, pleaded guilty before magistrate Dzul Elmy Yunus, to using a battery-powered electronic device to smoke on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu on September 8.


The offence was under Regulation 100(1) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 2016 and punishable under Regulation 206(2), which carries a maximum fine of RM25,000 fine, a year’s jail, or both, on conviction.

The prosecution told the court that cabin crew detected the smell of smoke in the aircraft cabin and traced it to Yasir, who was seated at 31C.

Good. Kudos to the flight crew.

It's getting very common to smell vape in flight.

Hope KKM also enforce this in restaurants! Too many people smoking in restaurants already, customers smoke, workers smoke, now boss also smoke in front of big No Smoking Sign!

Good!! Sei sorhai

Also farts

burps and farts become worse during durian season

Wah if this is his profile, he must be earning fat stocks. Somemore his working as an offshore medic. Unfortunately, he might not have a job soon. 😅

Really? Jailed term is very serious offence, will he lost all his professional body memberships?

How? I thought available after 4 months?

Mongkang

Meaning??

I realise the issue with vaping is ppl tend to think it is okay to do it indoor since doesn’t involve lighting it up. Over the time its behind a habit to the person 1 or 2 indoor pump okay la…

I think this dude waking up from nap naturally took out the vape for 1-2 pumps since it is his habit already.

Fully agree with you.

Expensive flight for him lol.

Oh and 4 month, good luck visiting Aus and UK
