KUCHING, Jan 21 — A businesswoman who used the name of the chief minister’s daughter to obtain free admission wristbands to the Rainforest World Music Festival in 2019 was yesterday sentenced to one year and eight months in prison.
The court, however, allowed for a stay of execution following an application filed by defence counsel Jonathan Jalin, and granted the accused cash bail of RM5,000 with one local surety besides ordering her to report to the nearest police station once a month. According to the facts of the case, the accused at around 9.30am on July 13, 2019 approached a supervisor at the entrance of Sarawak Cultural Village where the festival was being held, and introduced herself as a cousin of Dayang Norjihan Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari.
Later upon checking the ticketing records, the supervisor found out that another supervisor had the previous day given the accused 20 admission wristbands.
