He was accused of committing the offence at Melaka Halal Hub’s office in Serkam, Jasin, on April 1, 2021.

Amir was charged under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and sentenced under Section 26 of the same Act, which provides for a fine not exceeding RM50,000 or a maximum imprisonment of seven years, or both, upon conviction.

When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
Amir’s lawyer, Azrul Zulkifli Stork, requested the court to impose a minimum fine as his client has a large family to support. However, deputy public prosecutor Azriff Firdaus Ali asked for a punishment that commensurates with the offence.

Judge Elesabet Paya Wan ordered Amir to serve six months in jail if he did not pay the fine.
