Kishu and family get two days to pay up fine


PUTRAJAYA: Former Globe Silk Store owner Tan Sri Kishu Tirathrai and his family have been given until tomorrow by the Court of Appeal to pay a RM200,000 fine for contempt of court or face spending three months in jail.

Justice Abu Samah Nordin, who led a three-member Court of Appeal panel, allowed the family’s appeal to set aside the custodial sentence of three months’ jail each imposed on the four of them by the Kuala Lumpur High Court and substituted it with a fine of RM50,000 each in default three months’ jail.
