Ex-factory worker fined RM500 for choking ‘slow’ colleague
Magistrate tells Siti Fadzhlina Bazheer Ahamed she should have reported the issue to her supervisor instead of taking matters into her own hands.
A former factory employee was fined RM500 and sentenced to 14 days in jail by the Penang magistrates court for assaulting her colleague due to perceived slowness in work. The 42-year-old, Siti Fadzhlina Bazheer Ahamed, pleaded guilty to the charge and faced reprimand from Magistrate Chia Huey Ting, who advised her to report her grievances to a supervisor instead of resorting to violence.
The incident occurred in Kampung Jawa on July 26, where Fadzhlina attacked the 30-year-old victim at the factory. The charge, under Section 323 of the Penal Code, carries a maximum punishment of one year in prison, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both. Following the incident, Fadzhlina was reportedly terminated from her position.
