PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal on Monday (Nov 17) reinstated the original sentence of a Magistrate’s Court, ordering two men to pay a fine of RM1.1mil each, with a 12-month imprisonment in default, for transporting prohibited imported goods valued at RM145,440 in 2018.
A three-member bench, presided over by Justice Datuk Azmi Ariffin, partially allowed the appeals lodged by Chan Wah Chuan, a company director, and Joseph Onod, a lorry driver, setting aside a High Court decision, which had increased the default jail term to six years.
