KUALA LUMPUR - The Sessions Court here today acquitted and discharged Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad of all 12 corruption and money laundering charges related to the Jana Wibawa project made against him after paying a compound of RM4.1 million.
Judge Suzana Hussin made the ruling after hearing submissions from Deputy Public Prosecutor Farah Yasmin Salleh that Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has accepted Adam Radlan's representation letter on June 3.
"The court has decided that the accused be acquitted and discharged of all charges as the prosecution has withdrawn all charges and no longer intends to pursue the case,' said Suzana.
Earlier, Farah Yasmin said the representation letter had been accepted and the MACC agreed to a proposal for the RM4.1 million compound to be paid by Adam Radlan under Section 92(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLATFPUAA) 2001.

"Therefore, the prosecution requests that the accused be granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal since the prosecution has agreed to withdraw all charges filed against him,' she said.

Melaka launches G.A.M.A programme to combat bullying in boarding schools
MELAKA: The state government will launch the Anti-Bullying Movement for Boarding School Students (G.A.M.A) Programme next week through the State Education Department. State Education, Higher Education and Religious Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman described the programme as 'a strategic initiative and added value to the 2019 formation of the Melaka Anti-Bullying Task Force'. 'The G.A.M.A programme is organised by the Student Affairs Unit, Student Development Sector of the Melaka JPN, in collaboration with the Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department, the Melaka Police Headquarters and the Islamic Family Laws Division of the Melaka Islamic Religious Department (JAIM).' 'This programme is also in line with the Education Ministry's 'Reformasi@Sekolah' agenda, which emphasises support, accountability and strategic cooperation between schools, local communities and enforcement agencies,' he told reporters today. Rahmad confirmed that 'the G.A.M.A programme launch would be held at SM Sains Muzaffar Syah on Wednesday (Aug 27)'. He announced that 'sterner action would be taken against students involved in the bullying case at a boarding school in Melaka, including the possibility of expulsion'. He clarified that although 'the case, which was detected in Melaka recently, did not involve physical contact but in the form of mockery, sarcasm and punishment, it is still categorised as bullying and will not be taken lightly'. 'We have instructed JPN to conduct a thorough investigation into the recent bullying case and ensure appropriate action is taken against the students involved.' 'I hope that such stricter action will be a lesson so that bullying cases will not recur. I also call on students not to be involved in bullying but, instead, help one another,' he said. – Bernama

Court of Appeal reduces welder's jail term for stepdaughter sexual assault
PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has reduced a welder's prison sentence from 24 years to 16 years for sexually assaulting his stepdaughter on four separate occasions. A three-member bench led by Justice Datuk Azman Abdullah allowed the 57-year-old man's appeal and reduced each charge's sentence from six years to four years. The court ordered the sentences to run consecutively from the date of his arrest on March 21, 2022. Justice Azman stated that while the gravity of the offences was not in doubt, the Sessions Court's original sentence of 24 years would have a 'crushing effect.' He said the bench accepted the defence counsel's submission that the principle of totality must be applied. In April 2022, the Sessions Court sentenced the man to 24 years' imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to four counts of sexually assaulting his 11-year-old stepdaughter, who is now 15. The offences were committed at a house in Padang Besar, Perlis, on several occasions in July 2021, early and late December 2021, and March 5, 2022. Both the accused and the prosecution filed cross-appeals to the High Court challenging the sentence, but the High Court dismissed them in January last year. Defence counsel Mohamad Zaidan Daud urged the appellate court to consider his client's age, contending that a lengthy custodial term would have a 'crushing effect.' He further requested that the sentences run concurrently, which would have resulted in a six-year term. Zaidan also argued that under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, the maximum penalty is 20 years' imprisonment, and therefore the 24-year sentence imposed by the Sessions Court exceeded the statutory limit. Deputy public prosecutor Iznina Hanim Hashim opposed the request, stressing that the offences were distinct acts committed on different occasions and therefore warranted consecutive sentences. She urged the court to impose a stiffer punishment, describing his acts as repugnant. – Bernama
