Peter contended that a Court of Appeal, in upholding his conviction and sentence on March 4, had not considered the evidence regarding a 2018 police report in arriving at its decision.
In his application, filed last Friday (March 14), Peter sought a review by another bench of the appeals court.
Peter was sentenced to three years’ jail and fined RM50,000 by the sessions court in Kuala Lumpur in 2022. He has paid the fine and is currently serving his sentence.
He was convicted of falsifying documents related to a maintenance and service contract at Universiti Malaysia Sabah 11 years ago.
He was charged in his capacity as managing director of Syarikat Asli Jati Sdn Bhd with forging a letter from the office of the deputy vice-chancellor, dated June 9, 2014, by inserting a false statement to use it for fraudulent purposes.
Peter is assemblyman for Melalap.
His seat will be automatically vacated after he has exhausted all legal avenues to overturn his conviction or obtains a royal pardon. - FMT
