PETALING JAYA: The High Court has set aside a 10-day jail sentence and a RM4,000 fine imposed on a teeenager who was bathed like a corpse before being handed to the police for attempting to steal money from a donation box at a mosque in Rawang.

Justice Datuk Abd Halim Aman said the punishment for 19-year-old Daniel Iskandar will be replaced by 120 hours of community service over a period of six months.

Also present were lawyers Haniff Khatri Abdulla, Muhammad Hariz Yusoff, Nur Fatin Syakinah Kamarudin, Ahmad Khalil Md Rofiee and Muhammad Mustaqim Ahmad Huzaini, who are all representing the Malaysian Muslim Lawyers Association. The act has left Malaysians divided, with some expressing support and others saying that it was inappropriate to punish a person in that manner.
