Jobless man gets three years’ jail for attempted murder
SHAH ALAM: A man was sentenced to three years’ jail by the Sessions Court here yesterday after finding him guilty of attempted murder. Judge Slamat Yahya handed down the sentence on Alias Md Sharif, 47, after finding that the defence had failed to raise reasonable doubts on the prosecution case. Alias, 47, from Kuala Kubu Baharu, Hulu Selangor, was charged with strangling Seow Woon Leong, 48, with a nylon rope, an act which he knew could cause death, at an Internet shop at Kampung Baru, Kalumpang, Hulu Selangor near here about 12.50am on June 25, 2009. He was charged under Section 307 of the Penal Code which provided a maximum jail sentence of 20 years if found guilty. Slamat, in his judgment, said that after studying the evidence before him, Alias did not deny going to the shop, but denied having strangled the victim. He said the testimony by the accused could be questioned as no witness was called to testify. Therefore, the court found that the defence by the accused was purely denial, he added. Slamat ordered Alias, who is not working, to serve the sentence from Dec 15 last year, the day when his bail was withdrawn. After his arrest on June 25, 2009, Alias was released on bail, but on Dec 15 last year, his guarantor withdrew the bail and Alias was detained. Deputy public prosecutor Siti Syakimah Ibrahim prosecuted, while Alias was represented by lawyer M. Hafiz Zainol Abidin. — Bernama

Duo get 3 years' jail for aiding organised crime group members enter Malaysia illegally
By Khairah N. Karim - October 15, 2018
KUALA LUMPUR: Two men were sentenced to three years’ jail by the High Court for assisting the notorious ‘Gang Latino Dago’ members to illegally enter the country two years ago. Judge Datuk Mohd Sofian Abd Razak handed down the sentence to Abdul Rahman Mahiddin, 49, and Mohd Rizal Md Sahak, 43, after the duo changed their plea to guilty today. Today was fixed for decision of a representation for an amendment of the charge.
In sentencing, Mohd Sofian said the offence was serious as the two accused had helped foreigners commit crime in this country.
“After serving your sentences, the court hopes that both of you will be more responsible and be good citizens,” the judge said.
The court ordered Abdul Rahman and Mohd Rizal to serve their jail term beginning from the date of their arrest on Sept 17, 2016, and Sept 22, 2016, respectively. Abdul Rahman, who runs a car rental service company, and Mohd Rizal, who previously worked at a car wash, were separately charged with assisting organised crime group ‘Gang Latino Dago’ here between 2015 and Oct 8, 2016. Their charge under Section 130W of the Penal Code carries a maximum jail term of 10 years, if convicted.
Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Fadzlan Mohd Noor urged the court to consider public interest in sentencing the accused saying that the offence was serious. “I ask for the court to impose a sentence that will serve as a lesson to the accused so that they will not repeat the offence,” he said. Muhammad Fadzlan also asked the court to consider that both the accused had only pleaded guilty after 16 witnesses had testified in the trial which began on Oct 11 last year. In pleading for leniency, Abdul Rahman’s counsel Datuk Hazman Ahmad said his client, who was a father of three, regretted his action and he did not have a previous record.
Meanwhile, Mohd Rizal’s counsel M. Hafiz Zainol Abidin urged the court to impose a minimum jail term as he was the sole breadwinner of the family. According to the facts, on Oct 12, 2016, Mohd Rizal had organised the group members’ entry into the country through the borders of Thailand without being detected by the authorities. Abdul Rahman also admitted to have managed the group members’ transportation and accommodation in this country while the group committed robbery and house breaking around the city and in Selangor.
