JOHOR BAHRU: The Johor Bahru High Court has overturned a caning sentence for an 18-year-old teenager who was charged for animal abuse and setting a dog on fire.
He said that the sentence was overturned based on the wording of Section 293 of Malaysia's Criminal Procedure Code . “We were summoned by the High Court this morning by Justice Abu Bakar and we were informed of the judgement,” said Mr Sritharan. “One arm was already broken and he has not recovered fully from it. And to inflict harm on him now may be too harsh, I don’t know,” said Mr Sritharan.
Yap pleaded guilty to the charge and was subsequently sentenced on Apr 18 by Sessions Court judge Che Wan Zaidi Che Wan Ibrahim to receive 7 strokes of light caning and the 1-year good behaviour bond.
