Mahkamah Tinggi in Malaysia has rejected a petition seeking to reduce the seven-year prison sentence for Hafizul Hawari, a former tourism agency executive, who was accused of shooting his wife and injuring a personal guard at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1 on April 14, 2024. The decision, made on October 19, 2025, follows Hafizul's completion of his sentence for other offenses while in custody for his current case.

In his ruling, Justice Shamsulbahri Ibrahim stated that the September 5, 2025, decision of the Sepang High Court judge to impose the prison sentence was lawful and fair. He examined Hafizul's record of petitions, the reasons for the appeal, the proceedings' notes, and both parties' arguments. The judge found that the High Court judge's order was valid and fair.

The petition argued that Hafizul was detained without bail from April 15, 2024, until October 5, 2025, a period of nearly 20 months. It contended that this should be considered when determining the sentence. Hafizul's defense also claimed he had confessed at the early stage of proceedings, had no prior criminal record, and had shown remorse for his actions.

Hafizul had previously pleaded guilty to attempting to murder his estranged wife, Farah Md Isa, and intentionally causing severe injury to a personal guard, Mohd Nur Hadith Zaini, at KLIA Terminal 1 on April 14, 2024. He was sentenced to five years for attempted murder and seven years for intentionally causing severe injury using a dangerous firearm.

These sentences were to run concurrently with a seven-year prison term imposed after he completed his sentence for another offense in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, on February 25, 2025. On February 25, Hafizul received six years and six months in prison from the Kota Bharu High Court for possessing an illegal Glock 19 pistol, three-year sentences for unlawful possession of ammunition and unlawful possession of a mercun without a permit, and one-year sentences for each of three forgery charges, plus one year for using a false driver's license number.
