Deputy public prosecutor Fauziah Daud informed the court that the prosecution had withdrawn its appeals against Muhammad Syazani Mahzan and Muhamad Nuurul Amin Azizan, both aged 30.

Following this, a three-member bench of the Court of Appeal comprising Hanipah Farikullah, Ahmad Nasfy Yasin and Che Mohd Ruzima Ghazali struck out the appeals.

Both men who were remanded since May 14, 2019, had completed their two-year prison sentence on Jan 11 last year.

Lawyers Nik Zarith Nik Moustpha and Fariza Mohammad represented the men who appeared in court accompanied by family members.

On Jan 11, 2021, the Kuala Lumpur High Court sentenced Syazani and Nuurul Amin to two years in prison and ordered them to serve the sentence starting from the date they were arrested on May 14, 2019.

The prosecution filed an appeal against the decision on Jan 15 and Jan 18 last year.

Both men pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of dealing with terrorist property by each of them having provided financial assistance of RM100 to an Indonesian, Fatoni Amin Tohari, through one Mohd Izham Razani to be deposited into the Bank Rakyat Indonesia account belonging to one Agus Riyadi for terrorist activities.

They were charged under Section 130Q of the Penal Code with committing the offence at BFC Exchange Malaysia Sdn Bhd at Jalan Kampung Baru, Sungai Petani, Kedah, at 4.29pm on March 6, 2018.
