KUALA LUMPUR: A Sessions Court judge told an ex-bank officer who stole RM77,530 from the accounts of four passengers of the missing MH370 flight that she was lucky to be spared from whipping.

In sentencing Nur Shila Kanan, 34, to six years’ jail, Judge Norsharidah Awang said she was only spared the rod because she was a woman.
