Sabah rep Peter Anthony loses appeal over UMS conviction, to serve three-year prison term immediately

PUTRAJAYA, March 4 — Former Sabah minister Datuk Peter Anthony has today lost his appeal to set aside his guilty conviction for falsifying documents related to a maintenance and service contract at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) in 2014.

The Melalap assemblyman will now immediately be sent to prison to complete his three-year prison sentence, and to pay a RM50,000 fine,

New Straits Times reported that a three-man Court of Appeal panel delivered a unanimous decision to dismiss his appeal to overturn a 2022 decision by the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur.

The panel had included judges Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, Datuk Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, and Datuk Azmi Ariffin.
