Haji Yusfadillah bin Haji Md Yussof, who was sentenced to five years and four months’ jail with two whipping for tresspassing, housebreaking and breaching COVID-19 restrictions, had his appeal against an ‘excessive’ sentence dismissed.
Chief Justice Dato Seri Paduka Steven Chong, flanked by Justices Conrad Seagroatt and Michael Peter Burrell dismissed the appeal stating the appellant’s family hardship cannot be a factor that would affect what would otherwise be the right sentence.
