Mum of two relieved after court reduces two-month jail term for theft to six days


KUALA LUMPUR: A mother of two who was jailed for two months for stealing groceries from a supermarket has been released after the High Court here reduced her sentence to six days, or time served.

Justice K. Muniandy made the decision on Friday (April 25) after finding that the jail sentence handed down to Lini Ahmat, 38, by a Magistrate's Court on April 21, was disproportionate to the offence.
