PUTRAJAYA: Former special aide to a minister will have to serve a two-year sentence from Monday (June 20) after he failed in his final bid to set aside his conviction and jail sentence for two counts of corruption over a bus permit application from the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB), 20 years ago.
This followed the decision of the Court of Appeal’s three-member panel led by Datuk Hanipah Farikullah, who unanimously rejected the appeal filed by Eswadi Abd Rahim, 50, as the appellant against his conviction and sentence imposed by the Ipoh High Court on Dec 21, 2017.
