KOTA KINABALU: The final appeal of former Sabah infrastructure development minister Datuk Peter Anthony in the Court of Appeal on July 18 will now capture everyone’s attention.
Peter currently holds the position of president of the Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Malaysia (KDM).
Previously, Peter, 53, the managing director of Syarikat Asli Jati at the time, was convicted by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court for forging a letter from the office of the Universiti Malaysia Sabah vice-chancellor dated June 9, 2014, by inserting a false statement, intending to use it for fraudulent purposes.
Sessions court judge Azura Alwi convicted Peter of the offence, which took place at the office of the principal private secretary to then-prime minister Najib Razak at Perdana Putra in Putrajaya between June 13 and August 21, 2014.
On May 26, 2022, Azura sentenced Peter to three years’ jail and fined him RM50,000, which he has paid.
