The latest challenge she is conquering is starring in her first Malay drama, 'X-Change'.

PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Lokman Noor Adam escaped prison time after the Federal Court here set aside his one-month jail sentence and substituted it with a good behaviour bond for contempt of court in connection with Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia Development Bhd case.

The judge also said that based on the appeal records and the judgments handed down by the courts below, it was clear that the appellant’s failure to immediately tender his apology and express his remorse contributed to the sentence imposed. She said it was trite under the law of contempt that the intimidation of a witness before or after he gives evidence undermines the administration of justice.

She added that the panel noted the lower courts imposed prison time because the appellant showed no remorse over his actions and neither did he apologise. On Oct 22, 2019, Justice Sequerah permitted the then attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas to initiate committal proceedings against Lokman for his alleged contempt of court on Sept 25 that year.
