Judge Rozina Ayob sentenced Mohd Amal M Razalan, 36 after he changed his plea to guilty at today's proceeding which was earlier set for mention.
Before handing down the sentence, Rozina said the court was giving the accused a final chance as he is a professional and hoped he would learn from his mistake.

The offences were committed at the KLCC Maybank Branch, Jalan Ampang, here between Feb 21 and March 6, 2018.
Mohd Amal was charged under Section 16 (a) (A) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act, which is punishable by a maximum of 20 years imprisonment and a fine of not less than five times the bribe amount or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.
