KUALA LUMPUR: A labourer who slashed a lawyer after he was told off for not wearing a face mask and smoking at a supermarket received a heavier punishment of a one-year imprisonment and RM10,000 fine following a review of his sentence at the High Court. Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah handed the new sentence after reviewing the sentence against M. Samasiveng, 57, passed by the Selayang Magistrate’s Court on March 11.
“After hearing the submissions from both sides and reviewing the sentence, this court finds the RM5,000 fine meted out by the lower court as inadequate.
