THE phrase “a fish rots from the head down” aptly describes how it applies to organisations when it comes to preventing criminal acts, including corruption, regardless of their adoption of standards, systems, or certifications to avoid such occurrences.
PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal here has reduced the 34-year prison sentence of a man convicted of sexually assaulting his three young daughters to 26 years.
The three-judge panel led by Justice Che Mohd Ruzima Ghazali, however, upheld the 10 strokes of the cane initially imposed by the Sessions Court on the 45-year-old father of six. The panel, which included Justices Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim and Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, dismissed the man’s appeal against his conviction but granted his appeal for a sentence reduction, Bernama reported.In 2022, the former driver was found guilty by the Sessions Court on five counts of sexually assaulting his daughters, aged 12, 10, and five, in a house in Taman Kledang, Perak, on June 4, 2019, May 4, 2019, and May 7, 2019, respectively.
He was sentenced to a total of 34 years in prison with 10 strokes of the cane for all the offences, and in March last year, the High Court affirmed both his conviction and sentence. Deputy public prosecutor Atiqah Abdul Karim @ Husaini appeared for the prosecution, while the man was represented by lawyer Kathan Maruthamuthu from the National Legal Aid Foundation.
