JOHOR BARU (Malaysia) - Seven men who pleaded guilty to playing mahjong, made everyone smile when they told a magistrate that they were old and merely playing to pass time. Their offence is classified under Section 6(1) of the Open Gambling House Act 1953 as carrying out illegal gambling activities, which carries the sentence of not more than RM5,000 fine or not more than six month imprisonment or both. Magistrate Nor Shahid Abd Malik sentenced them to RM1,000 fine each (approx. 150 USD). They could also face one-month in prison should they fail to settle the fine.
