SHAH ALAM: The High Court here has sentenced a businessman to four months’ jail, effective immediately, for causing hurt and making death threats to a senior citizen in a recent road rage incident along Jalan Cheras-Hulu Langat. Justice Datuk Aslam Zainuddin delivered the ruling on Wednesday (Feb 25), setting aside the Kajang Magistrate’s Court’s Feb 10 decision to impose a RM5,500 fine on 52-year-old Saiful Adli Yusof. Aslam said the High Court, under Section 323 of the Criminal Procedure Code, recalled the case, overturned the lower court’s decision, and imposed a custodial sentence in its place. During the proceedings, the 70-year-old victim, Liew Khoon Foo, read his impact statement in Mandarin, describing severe trauma.
