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.
"We have seen the judgments of the Sessions Court and the High Court and we find that both courts made consistent findings. The findings made are based on facts and we cannot interfere with the facts without reason. We are sorry Encik Mohd Noor, we cannot do anything. "The court ordered the jail sentences to run concurrently, starting today,” said Judge Kamaludin, who sat with Justices Datuk Wira Ahmad Nasfy Yasin and Datuk Hashim Hamzah.As soon as the court adjourned, Mohd Noor was seen hugging a woman believed to be his daughter and trying to calm her down.
Mohd Noor, who was the Management and Development Services Sector head at the Penang Education Department then, was accused to have used his position to obtain an inducement by approving an RM26,162.50 payment voucher dated Oct 17, 2013, to supply lab coats for schools in the state to Syarikat Nur Ehsan Maju Enterprise, which he has an interest in. He was charged under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009.
