Wife of Pantai Jerejak ADUN, Nur Hidayah Abd Jabar, has asked the court to drop the case against her husband, Fahmi Zainol, who is accused of causing hurt to her last February. The trial of the State Assemblyman will continue on September 10 after a request for an adjournment to obtain further instructions from the Attorney General's Chambers.
Complainant Hidayah withdrew her initial police report and informed the court that she did not wish to pursue the case. Her lawyer, Dr Shamsher Singh Thind, argued that the case no longer had a basis to continue following the complainant's testimony, which suggested a struggle between the couple and that the accused did not intend to hurt her.
The magistrate, Chia Huey Ting, allowed the application for further instructions and stated that the prosecution had a duty to uphold justice, despite the complainant's withdrawal of the police report.
