Appeals Court upholds five-year jail term for 'Ayahanda Yie Tiger 99' gang members


PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has upheld the five-year prison sentence on 14 men, including a former national Muay Thai athlete, for being members of the organised crime group "Ayahanda Yie Tiger 99".

This followed a unanimous decision by a three-judge panel led by Datuk Hanipah Farikullah in dismissing the prosecution's appeal against the five-year prison sentence on grounds that there was no reason for the court to change or interfere with the decision of the Shah Alam High Court, made in March 2021 and March 2022.
