This is a nut
case and must send her to mental hospital for treatment. Cannot send her to
prison as she will endanger the prisoners there
KUALA LUMPUR: The scene at the Ampang Court today became chaotic for a while when a woman turned berserk and started screaming after realising that press photographers and cameramen were taking her picture.
Nor Asiah Mohamed Ali, 49, appeared calm and was about to leave the court after her husband paid a RM8,000 fine for abusing her adopted daughter. However, she became distressed when she noticed the presence of media members.
Nor Asiah, who was dressed in black and wearing a purdah, began to cry and scream until a policewoman went to calm her down and took her away.
Earlier, Sessions Court judge Azrul Darus fined her RM8,000, in default six months’ jail, after she pleaded guilty to a charge of abusing her adopted daughter two years ago.
She had earlier pleaded not guilty to the charge, but changed her plea to guilty after three witnesses testified during the hearing.
Nor Asiah was charged with abusing the girl, who was five years and 11 months old then, at Tadika An-Nur, No 1, Jalan Bukit Indah 2/17, Taman Bukit Indah here, between 2015 and April 8, 2016.
The charge, under Section 3(1) (a) of the Child Act 2001, provides a fine not exceeding RM20,000, or imprisonment for up to 10 years, or both upon conviction.
According to the facts of the case, a report was lodged with the Social Welfare Department that the child had been bitten and caned by the woman.
In mitigation, lawyer Samry Masri, representing Nor Asiah, said based on a report by Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, his client had suffered from a major depressive disorder since 2014 due to several factors, including her husband’s marriage to another woman.
He said Nor Asiah also regretted her action as her adopted daughter, whom she had cared for since the child was two years old, had been taken away from her.
Deputy public prosecutor Noor Fadzlin Abd Zawawi prosecuted.
