00:00A former assistant manager of The Star began his 20-month jail term today after the Court

00:07of Appeal dismissed his final appeal for receiving a RM20,000 bribe in a trap set by the Malaysian

00:13Anti-Corruption Commission eight years ago.

00:16However, a three-member bench chaired by Justice Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim allowed M. Yuganisparan's

00:22appeal to reduce his 30-month jail term to 20.

00:27Justice Azmi Arifin, who delivered the grounds, said the notion that the money received from

00:31businessman Emir Mavani Abdullah was for a business venture was rejected.

00:36Yuganisparan was on a RM50,000 bail pending the disposal of his appeal.

00:42On December 18, 2018, the Sessions Court found him guilty and sentenced him to 13 months

00:48jail and fined him RM100,000.

00:51Yuganisparan had received RM20,000 from Emir Mavani as an inducement to get MACC to close

00:58a case against him.
