PUTRAJAYA, Sept 24 — The Court of Appeal upheld a seven-year jail sentence and one stroke of the cane meted out on a former physical education teacher convicted of assault against two female students at a primary school in Dungun, Terengganu, five years ago. Judge Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, dismissing Tuan Sembok Tuan Puteh’s final appeal, said the sentences for all three charges, effective from Nov 11, 2022, were not excessive and did not warrant intervention by the court.
