New Zealand woman makes Malaysia her home, and pioneers NGO schools to make education accessible for marginalised children in Sabah.
PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court ruled in a majority decision that whipping sentences should be imposed consecutively on offenders convicted of multiple offences.
He added that Section 288 of the Criminal Procedure Code merely specifies that adults can only receive a maximum of 24 strokes, while young offenders are limited to 10. If Parliament had intended for whipping sentences to be served concurrently, it would have enacted legislation to that effect, he added.
In dissenting, Justice Nallini emphasised the importance of fairness and proportionality in determining whether whipping should be imposed concurrently or consecutively. "The court should retain its powers of sentencing so as to ensure that punishment meted out is commensurate with the offence,” she added.
The offences were committed in a house in Taman Sri Rampai, in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur on Feb 14, 2018. His appeals were dismissed by the Court of Appeal in July 2022.
