Criminal Law
Teacher 38 years charged under the Official Secrets Act for allegedly forwarding leaked UPSR exam questions( primary 6 exam questions).
He has been charged for 5 offences and for each charge if found guilty he could be liable to be jailed for a minimum of 1 year to a maximum of 7 years!!
Teacher had apparently received the alleged questions in September 2014 and it forwarded via WhasApp to groups.
The Government Multi-Media Ministry expert had said in evidence he could not rule out that the messages that was allegedly forwarded could be the work done by spyware or by other means. We won his case and his Defense was not called in the Sessions and High Court. But unfortunately by a majority decision 2-1 the Court Of Appeal judges ordered the teacher to enter his defense.
Today the case came up in the Seremban Sessions Court and the teacher said he will give evidence under oath.
Court fixed a continued Hearing date in August as we are awaiting the written decision of the Court of Appeal Judges.
