Teen thief to do community service instead

PETALING JAYA: The High Court has overturned the sentencing of a teenager who attempted to steal from a donation box at a mosque in Rawang.

Instead of a 10-day jail term and a RM4,000 fine imposed by the Magistrate’s Court on 19-year-old Daniel Iskandar, who was bathed like a corpse before being handed to the police, Justice Abd Halim Aman commuted the sentence to 120 hours of community service over six months.
