Photo shows the exterior of the Kuching Court Complex. — Photo by Chimon Upon KUCHING (June 13): The Magistrates' Court here today sentenced a carwash employee to 15 months in jail and one stroke of the rotan for dishonestly converting a vehicle entrusted to his care for his own use. Magistrate Mason Jaro Lenya Barayan convicted Muhammad Hafis Sulaiman, 27, on his own guilty plea to the offence punishable under Section 406 of the Penal Code. The Section stipulates for a prison sentence of up to 10 years, and with caning, as well as a fine, upon conviction. Muhammad Hafis committed the offence at a carwash in MJC Batu Kawa here on May 31. According to the facts of the case, the car owner sent his sports utility vehicle (SUV) to the carwash for a thorough interior and exterior cleaning. Muhammad Hafis told the complainant to leave the SUV for about a week at the shop. Upon returning a week later, the owner discovered the SUV was missing. The carwash manager then informed the complainant that Muhammad Hafis had driven the vehicle away and failed to show up for work for three consecutive days. Further investigation revealed that Muhammad Hafis had driven the SUV to Kampung Sibakar, Jalan Puncak Borneo, Padawan, which is near the Sarawak-Indonesia border. He also admitted to advertising the vehicle on WhatsApp for RM3,000, but later removed the message. A police line-up confirmed that Muhammad Hafis was the individual who had driven the vehicle away. He was not represented by legal counsel.
