KUALA LUMPUR – Former Sabah infrastructure development minister Datuk Peter Anthony was found guilty by the sessions court here for falsifying a letter from the Universiti Malaysia Sabah vice-chancellor’s office.
Peter, 51, was charged as the managing director of Asli Jati Engineering Sdn Bhd with falsifying a letter from the Office of Universiti Malaysia Sabah Vice-Chancellor dated June 9, 2014, by inserting a false statement with the intention of using it to deceive others.
The offence was allegedly committed at the Office of the Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister at the Perdana Putra building in Putrajaya between June 13 and August 21, 2014.
The charge, framed under Section 468 of the Penal Code, carries a maximum jail term of seven years and a fine, if convicted.
On December 14 last year, the sessions court here ordered Peter to enter defence after finding that the prosecution had succeeded in proving a prima facie case against him. – The Vibes, May 26, 2022
