KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Peter Anthony has filed an appeal against the decision of the High Court here which upheld his conviction and prison sentence and fine for forging letters in relation to the Mechanical and Electrical System (M&E) maintenance and service contract at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), nine years ago.

The former Sabah Infrastructure Development Minister filed the notice yesterday (April 19) through Messrs. Deva & Associates.

This is his last appeal because the case that started in the Sessions Court will end in the Court of Appeal.

According to the notice of appeal, Peter was dissatisfied with the ruling by High Court Judge Datuk Ahmad Bache who upheld the conviction and sentence of three years imprisonment and a fine of RM50,000 or 15 months' jail term if he failed to pay the fine imposed by Sessions Court Judge Azura Alwi.

His counsel, S. Devanandan confirmed the matter when contacted by Bernama.
