'Crackhouse' couple resorts to crowdfunding for RM40k bail
- 2 years ago
A woman and her boyfriend who were charged two days ago over the controversial stand-up routine at a comedy club in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur last month are resorting to crowdfunding to raise the total RM40,000 bail for their release from custody.
When contacted, lawyer R Sivaraj confirmed that Siti Nuramira Abdullah, 26, and Alexander Navin Vijayachandran, 38, were forced to use this method as the bail amount was quite high relative to their humble financial circumstances.
The lawyer said so far, they only managed to secure a pledge of RM3,000 from other lawyers, non-governmental organisations (NGO), and members of the public.
