The High Court on Tuesday upheld Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) president Datuk Peter Anthony’s conviction for forging a letter of support from the Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to secure a system maintenance contract in 2014.

Judge Datuk Ahmad Bache ruled the Sessions Court Judge Azura Alwi did not err in her findings and found that the prosecution had proven the charge beyond a reasonable doubt.“The defence had failed to create doubts to the case.

Following this, the High Court is upholding his conviction,” Ahmad said. The court is now hearing mitigation on the sentence by defence counsel S Devanandan. The Sessions Court case had sentenced him to three years in jail and a fine of RM50,000.
