Verdict for Siti Bainun’s appeal against abuse, neglect convictions set on April 24

High court fixes date after hearing submissions from lawyers, DPPs on Rumah Bonda’s founder bid against previous judgment

6:22 PM MYT

 

KUALA LUMPUR – The high court here today fixed April 24 for its decision on Siti Bainun Ahd Razali’s appeal against two convictions of neglecting and abusing a teenage girl with Down Syndrome known as Bella.

Judge Datuk Noorin Badaruddin set the date after hearing submissions from lawyers Haijan Omar, Nur A’minahtul Mardiah Md Noor, and Nurul Hafidzah Hassan representing the Rumah Bonda founder as the appellant, and deputy public prosecutors Zahida Zakaria and Analia Kamaruddin. 

“The court has considered all submissions from the prosecution and defence. Therefore, I will provide a brief judgment on that date,” said Noorin during the hearing related to the conviction. 

On May 3, 2023, sessions court judge Izralizam Sanusi ordered Siti Bainun to be sent to Kajang Prison to serve an immediate 12-year prison sentence after dismissing her application to stay the sentence. 

Siti Bainun, who was found guilty of committing the offence against Bella, 13, in a condominium unit in Wangsa Maju here between February and June 2021, was also ordered to sign an RM5,000 good behaviour bond for five years with one surety. 

She was also directed to perform 200 hours of community service, to be completed within six months after the end of the prison sentence. 

On May 23, 2023, the high court rejected Siti Bainun’s application to stay the prison sentence against her after finding that there were no special or exceptional circumstances to do so. – March 7, 2024
