(Reuters) - Southeast Asian technology firm Sea Ltd beat estimates for second-quarter revenue on Tuesday, driven by strong growth in its e-commerce and financial services businesses.
PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has overturned the conviction and RM1,500 fine imposed on a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission senior officer for providing false information on his identity to the Selangor Islamic Religious Council during a khalwat raid in 2017.
He said the court found that Fikri had successfully created a doubt in the prosecution’s case, making his conviction unsafe to uphold. He also ordered that the RM1,500 fine paid by Fikri be refunded. Fikri is a senior officer with the Governance Investigating Department at MACC and previously served as the director of MACC Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act division.
Regarding the other charge, Fikri was acquitted and discharged by the Magistrate’s Court on Feb 17, 2022. However, on March 15 last year, the High Court allowed the prosecution’s appeal, overturned the acquittal, convicted him and imposed a RM1,500 fine. She said both Fikri and the woman were involved in an undercover operation to monitor corruption activities within certain government agencies. She also told the court that Fikri was acquitted of the khalwat charge in November 2023.
