A night market trader who is currently serving a jail term for a drug offence in Negeri Sembilan, was sentenced to another five years' jail and a stroke of the rotan by the Sessions Court here today after he pleaded guilty to robbing a Uber driver using an iron rod last year.
Judge Shamsudin Abdullah meted out the punishment to Ahmad Yushup Masrial, 31, and ordered the father of two to serve the sentence from the date of his arrest on March 26, 2017.
Ahmad Yushup admitted to have robbed Mohd Almizi Muhammad, 37, of his mobile phone and cash amounting to RM500 and caused injury to the victim during the incident at 4.30 pm on Nov 20 last year.
He was charged under Section 394 of the Penal Code which provides a jail term of up to 20 years and a fine or whipping if convicted.
