Court frees duo over match-fixing charges

SEREMBAN: Two men, including a former national footballer, were freed by the High Court here over charges of fixing a Malaysia Premier League match more than five years ago.

Judge Datin Rohani Ismail allowed an appeal from Khairul Anuar Baharum (pic), 48, and G. Prem Kumar, 54, and set aside a decision by the Sessions Court in August 2020 which found them guilty of offering RM10,000 each to MISC-Mifa goalkeepers S. Harivarman and Khairul Izzuwan Shaari.
