KOTA KINABALU: A worker of a company was jailed for eight months and fined RM1,000, in default, six months in jail by a Magistrate's Court here yesterday for dishonestly misusing RM210 in cash belonging to his employer.

Senior assistant registrar Dzul Elmy Yunus imposed the sentence on Md Zackaria Md Jamrin, 28, who pleaded guilty to a charge under Section 403 of the Penal Code which provides for a jail term of up to five years and whipping or a fine, upon conviction.

The unrepresented local accused admitted to misusing the payment for car rental for his own interest at Jalan Sulaman Central in Sepanggar, Menggatal on October 24.

Prosecuting officer Inspector Lim Swee Beng told the court that the complainant contacted one of their customers and asked why the customer did not make full payment before renting the car.

The customer said that he had paid the rental fee to the complainant's worker but the complainant only received RM100 of the full amount that the customer should have paid.

The complainant then lodged a police report and investigation revealed that the accused had taken half of the full rental paid by the customer to him.

In a separate case, local Mohd Hamzah Matali, 43, was sentenced to six months in jail by the same court for possessing 0.21 gram of syabu at Kampung Warisan in Inanam on September 3.

He pleaded guilty to a charge under Section 12 (3) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 which carries a maximum fine of RM100,000 or a jail term of up to five years upon conviction.

One day’s jail, RM20,000 fine for Perkasa chief

Posted: 19 Nov 2013 09:22 AM PST

Posted on November 20, 2013, Wednesday

KUALA LUMPUR: Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali was sentenced to one day's jail and imposed a RM20,000 fine or another two weeks' imprisonment by the High Court here yesterday for contempt of court.

Justice Datuk John Louis O'Hara ordered the jail term to run from today and rejected a request by Ibrahim's counsel Rajindar Singh to stay the sentence.

Ibrahim's other lawyer Adnan Seman said they would settle the fine and file a notice of appeal tomorrow against the ruling.

The Perkasa president was found guilty of allowing the publication of an article in his organisation's website, which belittled a judge hearing Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim defamation suit against Utusan Melayu (Malaysia) Bhd.

The writer of the article, Zainuddin Salleh was sentenced by O'Hara to four weeks' jail. The court rejected counsel Mohamed Harmy's oral request for a stay of the sentence, to run from today and ordered him to file a written application.

In his judgement, O'Hara said the article had ridiculed the court generally and Datuk VT Singham personally.

"The publication is an attack on Singham's integrity and impartiality. The publication was subjudice, as hearing of the case has not ended," he held.

Earlier, Mohamed Harmy mitigated for a lenient punishment telling the court that Zainuddin was suffering from heart disease and had to seek treatment monthly at the hospital, and did not have a steady income.

Ibrahim said he was unaware of the article that was posted in Perkasa's website: "As a Muslim, I swear that I had nothing to do with the article written by Zainuddin," he said.

Last March 5, O'Hara granted Anwar's application which alleged that the article posted in Perkasa's website on Jan 7 had tarnished the image of the judge who was hearing his defamation suit against Utusan Melayu and the paper's editor in chief Datuk Abdul Aziz Ishak, to commence committal proceedings against Ibrahim and Zainuddin.

Anwar's defamation suit pertained to two articles published in Utusan Melayu on his interview by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

On Jan 21, the high court ruled that the two articles published by Utusan Melayu in regard to homosexual laws were defamatory.

Meanwhile, Ibrahim when met by reporters at the Jalan Duta Court Complex cafe, said he accepted yesterday's decision wholeheartedly and did not dispute it.

He was detained in the court's lockup for a few hours and later released after paying the fine. — Bernama
