MALACCA: A former state agency official who was awarded a datukship on Monday by Malacca was convicted of criminal breach of trust in 1995.
Former international manager of Malacca International Trade Centre, Hasnoor Sdg Husin, was found guilty and convicted of criminal breach of trust and was sentenced to nine months’ jail by a Sessions Court here on April 28, 1995, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said.
He appealed and the High Court in Malacca set aside the sentence and replaced it with one day's jail and a RM1,500 fine or six months' jail, Lim said during a press conference here yesterday.
Hasnoor did not appeal against the conviction and paid the fine.
When contacted, Hasnoor said he had nothing to comment except that the award was given by the state.
He received the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM) on Monday in conjunction with the 69th birthday celebrations of Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob.
Lim said he received many letters from the people who expressed unhappiness that a convicted person had been given the datukship.
Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam's officers, when contacted, said the DAP had similarly raised the issue when Hasnoor was appointed to a government post a few years ago.
