PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal today reprimanded a woman who is appealing against an eight-year jail term for maid abuse for taking medical leave just before her case is to be heard.
Kamaludin also asked Rozita’s sister, Rosliah, who is the bailor, why the appellant did not want to attend court on the scheduled dates. However, deputy public prosecutor Ku Hayati Ku Harun said Rozita had been absent from court with the same excuse of suffering from asthma and knee pain. Rozita filed the application, saying the Shah Alam High Court could not summarily revise her case when the public prosecutor had filed an appeal against the Sessions Court ruling.
However, this sparked outrage among the public, with an online petition against the sentence attracting more than 70,000 signatures.
