The Attorney-General's Chambers is seeking a heavier penalty for the couple who harassed a Shah Alam City Council.

The couple, Lor Ka Hoo 35, and Tan Sit Fun, 30, were on Friday sentenced to 14 days in jail and fined RM3,000 each after they pleaded guilty to using force to prevent a civil servant from doing her job.

They were released on RM2,000 bail each pending their appeal against the sentencing.

Attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali said the sentence is "manifestly inadequate" given the gravity of the offence.
