Judge Izralizam Sanusi sentenced Siti Bainun to a total of 12 years in prison after finding her guilty of neglecting and abusing a teenage girl with Down syndrome, known as Bella. BERNAMAPIX: Rumah Bonda founder Siti Bainun Ahd Razali was sent to Kajang Prison today to serve a 12-year prison sentence after the Sessions Court here dismissed her application for a stay of execution of the prison sentence.
“In this case, justice can best be served through the execution of the sentence immediately and therefore, the accused’s application is dismissed and the court orders the accused to serve the prison sentence immediately,“ he said. In the application for the stay, her lawyer, Mohammad Farhan Maaruf, said that his client had never been convicted of any criminal offence and that this case was her first.
Meanwhile, deputy public prosecutor Zahida Zakaria said there are no special and extraordinary circumstances for the court to allow the application. “The lawyer’s reasoning stated that the accused was active in charity work, but in this case, it was proven that she was using charity work as a cover...and on the issue of health problems, medical facilities in Malaysian prisons are available at all times,“ she added.
