Judge Nurul Mardhiah Mohammed Redza meted out the sentence to the 54-year-old woman and ordered her to serve her prison term from the date of her arrest on June 28. The court also imposed a two-year good behaviour bond and ordered her to perform 40 hours of community service within four months after completing her prison sentence. The accused, who was the guardian of a 13-year-old girl, was charged with abusing the victim by hitting her with a piece of wood, a mortar and pestle, as well as slashing her body with a knife, causing physical injuries. The offence was committed at a house in Taman Bendahara, Kuala Selangor, in June. She was charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, which provides for a maximum fine of RM50,000, imprisonment of up to 20 years, or both, upon conviction. According to the facts of the case, the accused, who had been caring for the victim since infancy, had physically assaulted and abused the girl, resulting in broken teeth and multiple injuries on her body. Investigations and a medical examination confirmed that the injuries sustained were consistent with physical abuse. Several videos of the incident went viral on social media, with some showing the injuries the victim had sustained on her hands and head. Photo: Screenshot of the viral videos. Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Mohamad Nor Hakimi Mohamad Rosedin urged the court to impose a proportionate and deterrent sentence as a lesson to both the accused and the wider community, citing the public interest and the alarming frequency of child abuse cases. "The accused has committed a serious offence under Section 52B of the Penal Code. I respectfully request the court to review the photographs of the victim's injuries, which clearly show that the accused failed in her responsibilities as the victim's guardian,' he said. "The accused's actions have left both physical and psychological scars on her adopted child, who is now suffering from trauma,' he added. Meanwhile, lawyer Khairul Hazwan Rashid Mohd Redduan from the National Legal Aid Foundation, who represented the accused, appealed for the prison sentence to commence from the date of her arrest. He also said that his client is unable to pay any fine, as she has no source of income and her husband is currently serving a prison sentence for a drug-related offence. - BERNAMA

Selangor factory fined RM256,000 for illegal e-waste processing
SHAH ALAM: A factory involved in processing scrap metal and e-waste was fined RM256,000 by the Kuala Selangor Sessions Court on Thursday (July 3) for multiple offences under the Environmental Quality Act 1974. Selangor Environment Department (DOE) director Wandi Yadzid Yaakob in a statement said the court also ordered that the company face 39 months' imprisonment if it fails to pay the fine. The company's director, who represented the firm as the accused, pleaded guilty to five charges under the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and one charge under the Environmental Quality (Clean Air) Regulations 2014. The charges were read before Judge Nurul Mardhiah Mohamed Redza. "The sentence took into account the public interest, following submissions from both the prosecution and the company's mitigation plea. "The DOE urged the court to impose a firm sentence to serve as a deterrent and ensure companies uphold environmental laws and safeguard ecological integrity," said Wandi Yadzid. Wandi Yadzid said investigations revealed the premises were involved in metal recovery activities. Authorities discovered approximately 126 pallets of materials containing printed circuit boards (PCBs), one operational furnace, and four more furnaces still under construction. He added that a chimney structure was also found at the site, but it was not equipped with any air pollution control systems. Wandi urged the company to act responsibly and not compromise environmental sustainability in the pursuit of profit. "Industrial operators are reminded to strictly comply with the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and its regulations. Non-compliance may lead to prosecution and conviction," he warned. - Bernama
