Kuala Lumpur: The High Court here today sentenced former Felda Chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad (pic) to a total of 54 years in prison and a fine of RM15.45 million, in default 18 years’ jail, after finding him guilty of nine counts of corruption involving RM3 million over the agency’s purchase of Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites (MPHS) in Kuching, Sarawak.
The former Negeri Sembilan menteri besar was sentenced to six years’ jail on each count of the charges.
However, Mohd Isa, 71, only has to serve six years in prison after Judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali ordered the prison sentences to be served concurrently.
