KOTA KINABALU, Jan. 6 -- A 53-year-old politician facing four molestation charges involving a 2021 State Unduk Ngadau contestant will learn his fate on January 12.

The decision date was set at the conclusion of the defence stage for Phillip Among, who also served as the technical head for the 2021 Unduk Ngadau competition.

He faces charges for molesting the Unduk Ngadau contestant on May 19, 2021, at four different times: 2pm, 3.30pm, 9.45pm and 10pm.
