Guess the race: rapist has sentence extended after appeal

[Jah_rastafar_I]

A rapist who targeted at least two underage girls had his sentence reduced by an appeal court in November in 2015.

In a judgment released yesterday (Feb 22), Judge of Appeal Chao Hick Tin ordered that Hang Tuah Jumaat's sentence for a series of offences including sexual penetration of a minor be reduced to two years' jail, instead of four years and 11 months as originally ordered by a lower court.

But instead of having it run together with an earlier 12-year jail term for rape, which meant that Hang Tuah's time in prison would remain the same, the appeal judge ordered that this reduced sentence begin after the sentence for the rape has been completed.

This means that Hang Tuah, now 44, will spend 14 years in prison instead.

He will, however, still receive 15 strokes of the cane — 12 strokes for rape, and three strokes for sexual penetration of a minor.

This should be the way that criminals are punished, No other countries practice archaic laws like the pappies ...taking various charges levied against a criminal into consideration when punishing him.

Justice is only served when the criminal is punished to serve his jail term consecutively for each count. Pappies are far far behind the American in punishing criminals ... according to ex-President Clinton, it should be "3 counts and you are out..." in prison for the long haul.

In sinkieland, some criminals have police records longer than the monkey's tail and get still jail term as short as the baby's penis.
