Ayer Keroh High Court has ordered a former army recruit, Mohamad Abdullah, 63, to pay a RM1,000 fine for allegedly assaulting a 13-year-old boy two weeks ago. Harian Metro reported that Majistret Sharda Shienha Mohd Suleiman sentenced Mohamad Abdullah to the fine instead of imprisonment, as he cannot afford the penalty due to his low income as an army recruit and the financial burden of supporting his wife, who is unemployed, and their three children.
The incident occurred near TM35, Taman Tanjung Minyak, in Melaka around 5:15 pm on August 11. The victim was reportedly chasing chickens along the roadside when the accused confronted him, asking if the boy had stolen his chickens. The accused struck the victim's right cheek twice, claiming it was a mistake. The victim later received treatment at a clinic and filed a police report.
Medical examination confirmed the victim suffered a soft tissue injury on his right cheek. Mohamad Abdullah's lawyer, JC Goh, requested a minimum fine as the army recruit earns only RM1,500 monthly and needs to support his family. However, the Deputy Crown Prosecutor, Siti Nur Alia Safri, urged the court to impose a heavier sentence.
The court sentenced Mohamad Abdullah to a RM1,000 fine or a one-month jail term if he fails to pay the fine.
