FIRDAUS RIZAL BIN ABDUL MANAN

FIRDAUS RIZAL BIN ABDUL MANAN

Court found prolonged, repeated breaches of trust over years involving multiple victims and large losses with no restitution and that the offences were not part of a single transaction; mitigation (health, family, guilty plea) did not outweigh aggravating factors. Therefore the court convicted on the nine counts and imposed, for each count, two years' imprisonment, two strokes of the cane, and a RM10,000 fine (six months' default), with imprisonment to run separately (consecutively) for each count.
