KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 — The High Court here today upheld the three-year prison sentence and a RM50,000 fine imposed on former Sabah Infrastructure Development Minister Datuk Peter Anthony for forging a letter for the purpose of cheating.
Peter, 52, filed the appeal in June last year against the three years’ imprisonment and a fine of RM50,000 after he was found guilty of forging a letter for a Mechanical and Electrical Systems maintenance and service contract at Universiti Malaysia Sabah in 2014. “The court also found that there was no reason for these witnesses to lie and support each other because they were victims of being deceived and used by the appellant . Their testimony was consistent that they thought P2 was for the benefit of UMS for the purpose of ‘smart partnership’ and not for their personal interests,” he said.
Judge Ahmad said the session court judge was not wrong and the court also agreed with the judge’s finding that the appellant falsified documents, despite knowing that the project was made through an open tender. “The appellant was a minister in Sabah before being accused in court and he contributed a lot to the people of the state in addition to providing projects and programmes for UMS students to undergo training at the appellant’s company.
