THE Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered the seizure of assets belonging to social media influencer Caprice after he failed to pay RM8,000 in costs awarded in a defamation suit.
The writ of seizure and sale dated Dec 3, 2025, was issued by senior assistant registrar Qasiratul Jannah Usmani Othman against Caprice, whose real name is Ariz Ramli, following an order obtained by shipping company chief executive officer Datuk Seri R Jeyenderan.
The sum comprises RM8,000 awarded under a court order dated Oct 15, 2025, RM320 in allocatur calculated up to Nov 21, 2025, as well as costs related to the issuance and execution of the writ.
The writ authorises the seizure and, if necessary, the sale of the defendant’s movable property to satisfy the judgment debt, reported Bernama.
Jeyenderan’s counsels Muniandy Vestanathan and Afiq Yahawa, confirmed that two court bailiffs attempted to execute the writ at 10 am today at Caprice’s residence in Mont Kiara.
"Today, we proceeded to the premises believed to be Caprice’s residence together with two court bailiffs and a security guard from the apartment complex.
"Upon arrival, the doorbell was pressed several times, but there was no response, and no one answered the door. The execution could not be carried out as the apartment management informed us that his tenancy had ended last year and that he has since moved out,” he said.
On Oct 15 last year, High Court Judge Roslan Mat Nor, who granted Jeyenderan an interim injunction in his defamation suit against Caprice, also ordered the influencer to pay RM8,000 in costs within two weeks. This payment was not made.
Jeyenderan filed the suit on July 21, 2025, claiming that on July 10, 2025, the defendant had made several posts on Instagram, which included photographs and videos of him, allegedly linking him to criminal activities, gangsterism and armed threats, without any credible evidence.
He is seeking RM3 million in damages for reputational harm, special damages, general damages and exemplary damages, along with costs and any other relief deemed appropriate by the court. – January 21, 2026
