MCO: High Court replaces single mum’s jail sentence with RM1,000 fine
Wednesday, 29 Apr 2020 02:31 PM MYTSHAH ALAM, April 29 — A single mother, who was sentenced to 30 days jail by the Magistrate’s Court for defying the movement control order , heaved a sigh of relief after the High Court here today replaced the jail sentence with fine of RM1,000.
“If you repeat the mistake, I will not hesitate to impose a heavier sentence. Therefore, I set aside the 30-day jail sentence and impose fine of RM1,000, in default two weeks jail,” said Norsharidah.
He said the magistrate had failed to consider that his client is a Malaysian, a first time offender, with no previous record and not a serious criminal who often broke the law.
