The High Court in Shah Alam has upheld a five-year jail sentence for Ismanira Abdul Manaf, the mother of Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin, after rejecting her appeal. The court found no error in the Sessions Court's conviction or the sentence imposed on October 31 last year. The judgment stated that the five-year prison term was neither inadequate nor clearly excessive, and there was no failure of justice.
Ismanira was charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 for neglecting Zayn, who was six years old at the time, in a way that likely caused him physical injury. The offense was alleged to have occurred in the Damansara Damai area on December 5-6, 2023. Ismanira's appeal challenged the Sessions Court's entire decision, but the appellate court found no errors of principle or fact in the proceedings.
