PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal upheld a seven-year jail sentence and one stroke of the cane meted out on a former teacher convicted of sexually assaulting two female pupils at a primary school in Dungun, Terengganu five years ago.
Judge Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, dismissing Tuan Sembok Tuan Puteh's final appeal on Monday (Sept 23), said the sentences for all three charges, effective from Nov 11, 2022, were not excessive and did not warrant intervention by the court.
