PETALING JAYA: Controversial blogger Papagomo will be charged at the Kuala Lumpur magistrate’s court on Friday with allegedly assaulting a migrant worker.

He is expected to be charged at 9am at magistrate's court 9.

Papagomo, whose real name is Wan Mohd Azri Wan Deris, is seen slapping, punching and kicking a Pakistani worker in a four-minute Facebook video that has since gone viral.

He said that he assaulted the worker because the man had sexually harassed two of his younger sisters, and two of their friends.

He had uploaded the video of the assault, which allegedly occurred on Jan 29, on his Facebook page Sir Azri.

Wan Mohd Azri later said he was “touched” by the support he had received over his actions

“Thank you for understanding that the issue has nothing to do with politics, but something every Malaysian regardless of their race and religion must be aware of,” he said.

He added that he had uploaded the video on his Facebook page to explain what really happened.
