Ex-waiter fails to overturn jail term for curfew breach
The Court of Appeal said the restriction order was not affected by a Federal Court decision striking down a section of the Prevention of Crime Act.
Kee Wen Wei, once a waiter, saw his 27-month prison sentence upheld by the Court of Appeal for breaching his curfew restrictions. The three-member bench, led by Justice Noorin Badaruddin, dismissed his appeal on October 30, stating he failed to prove the supervision order was automatically invalidated by a Federal Court ruling. The 30-year-old had been under supervision from March 4, 2020, to March 3, 2022, required to stay within the Hulu Kinta sub-district in Perak and confined indoors between 8pm and 6am due to his involvement in car theft. He was convicted in October 2024 for being found at a house in Ipoh during the curfew hours.
