A three-judge panel, led by Justice Datuk Hanipah Farikullah, made that decision on Monday after counsel Alex De Silva, representing the appellant, Yusof Holmes Abdullah, 78, informed the court that the Attorney-General’s Chambers had allowed the application to set aside the jail sentence.
"The appellant withdrew his appeal against the conviction while the respondent withdrew the appeal against the sentence as the AG’s Chambers had allowed my client’s representation to set aside the jail sentence of one month while the fine of RM50,000 remained,” he said and added that the appellant had paid the fine.
On Jan 5, 2017, the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court sentenced Yusof Holmes, a British national with permanent resident status in Malaysia, to six months’ jail and fined him RM20,000 for committing the offence but allowed stay of the jail sentence and fine until the decision on the appeal case be made by the High Court.
