The High Court has upheld the sentencing handed down by the Sepang Sessions Court in the KLIA shooting incident, rejecting arguments that the court's decision was unjust or improperly applied.
Judge ruled that the original sentencing order against Hafizul Hawari was legally sound and met the requirements of justice. The dismissal of the appeal means the conviction and sentence imposed by the lower court will stand without modification.
