| Naim Daniel Shows Up in Court Over Child Protection Case: Allegations Stir Online Outrage |
It’s been a tense few weeks in the Malaysian entertainment world, and things escalated again this Tuesday (17th June 2025) as singer-actor Naim Daniel was spotted at the Putrajaya Sessions Court—showing up quietly around 8:34am.
Although no official charges have been publicly confirmed just yet, Naim’s appearance has only added fuel to ongoing speculation. For context, earlier this month, reports emerged of a high-profile male celebrity allegedly involved in the sexual assault of a minor—specifically a 17-year-old girl.
The incident is said to have taken place at a hotel in Selangor, and news that the suspect and victim were already acquainted has further stirred public conversation.

While no names were formally released, netizens were quick to connect the dots, with Naim Daniel’s name being frequently thrown into the mix.
The 27-year-old performer—well-known for his role in Projek: High Council and for chart-topping singles—has gone quiet on social media since the story blew up, and hasn’t issued a public denial or statement so far.
During Tuesday morning’s court visit, Naim—whose full name is Muhammad Naim Daniel bin Baharin—kept things low-key, briefly greeting the press with a calm expression before heading straight into the courtroom. Court proceedings were set to begin at 9am, but the singer offered no comment on why he was there or what the next steps might be.

As of now, the investigation is reportedly being carried out under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 (Act 792), which covers offences involving minors. No conviction has been made, and Naim has not publicly confirmed any involvement in the case.
Still, public sentiment online is a mix of outrage and disbelief. Many netizens expressed their shock, noting how Naim has always maintained a clean, almost boy-next-door image in the public eye.
Others demanded that justice be served, and that the case be handled transparently and fairly. Meanwhile, a smaller group of fans have stood by him, urging the public not to jump to conclusions until more concrete details come to light.

It’s a difficult moment not just for the star himself, but also for an industry that has long struggled with how to handle allegations of this nature. Whether Naim Daniel is formally charged or not, his name being linked to such a serious investigation will no doubt have lasting effects on both his career and public image.
The case remains ongoing, with more updates expected as court proceedings continue. As always, we’ll be keeping a close eye on how it unfolds.
