Appeals court upholds man's 18-month jail for molest


PUTRAJAYA: A former civil servant was ordered to begin serving his 18-month jail sentence on Monday (March 2) after the Court of Appeal upheld his conviction for molesting a woman 15 years ago.

This followed a decision by a three-member bench, comprising Datuk Supang Lian, Datuk Hayatul Akmal Abdul Aziz, and K. Muniandy, in dismissing the appeal by the 57-year-old Zolkapli Long @ Mohamad, who had challenged his conviction for outraging the modesty of a woman who was a client at the agency where he worked.
