Former director in PM's Dept in Penang gets reduced jail term


PUTRAJAYA: A former director of the Implementation Coordination Unit in the Prime Minister's Department Penang will remain in jail and pay his fine after the Court of Appeal on Wednesday rejected his appeal and upheld his conviction on two corruption charges involving a total value of RM50,818.50 nine years ago.

The three-member Court of Appeal panel led by Judge Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said, however, reduced Mohd Noor Rejab’s jail term from three years to 15 months after considering several factors, especially his age of 60 years.
