Zahid's son-in-law's death: Appeals court upholds RM220,000 fine on dental centre


PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal here on Thursday (Nov 10) upheld the RM220,000 fine imposed on Imperial Dental Specialist Sdn Bhd after it was found guilty on four charges in connection with the death of Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s son-in-law Datuk Syed Alman Zain Syed Alwi during dental treatment six years ago.

A three-member panel of the court led by Datuk Hanipah Farikullah unanimously dismissed the final appeal of the dental specialist centre, which was represented by a member of its board of directors, Dr Alice Wong Yen Lin, 50, to set aside the decision of the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Jan 9, 2020.
