Five ex-UPNM students withdraw appeal, stay in jail


PUTRAJAYA: Five former Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) students have withdrawn their appeal against their conviction and three-year prison sentence for injuring cadet officer Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain seven years ago.

Lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad informed the Court of Appeal here that the five appellants withdrew the appeal as it was now academic and no longer relevant as they have completed their three-year prison sentence, which was served from 2021.
