Kota Kinabalu: A nursery childminder was fined RM2,000 or jailed two months on Thursday for assaulting her colleague last week. Dayang Julydah Majikan, 37, pleaded guilty before Magistrate Marilyn Kelvin to voluntarily causing hurt to Chong Pui Ying on May 8, this year, at 10am, at a nursery in 1Borneo, near here.
Advertisement The charge under Section 323 of the Penal Code carries a jail term of up to one year or a fine of up to RM2,000 or both, on conviction. The prosecution informed the court that, prior to the incident, the complainant was seated and caring for children at the nursery when she was suddenly attacked by Julydah. Julydah pulled the complainant's hair and kicked her so hard that the complainant experienced severe pain and cried due to the injury and emotional distress. Investigations revealed that both Julydah and the complainant were colleagues at the nursery, working as childminders. A misunderstanding occurred as Julydah frequently left the nursery without notice, which resulted in the complainant and another colleague being forced to care for infants that were supposed to be under Julydah's supervision. Counsel Lim Ming Zoong @ Lawrence, representing Julydah, requested leniency citing that Julydah, a divorcee with three children, is now unemployed. Inspector Yusdi Basri applied for a deterrent sentence. In another case, a 31-year-old man was jailed three months for shoplifting. Dinrasil changed his mind and pleaded guilty to stealing a pair of Nike shoes and a black T-shirt from the Bundle Mania thrift shop, in Asia City, on Feb 25, this year, at 11.50am. The charge is framed under Section 380 of the Penal Code which carries a jail term of up to 10 years and liability for a fine, on conviction. The facts of the case presented by the prosecution stated that Dinrasil was seen entering the shop in a suspicious manner. He took a pair of shoes and a T-shirt, put them on, and walked out without paying. Dinrasil even left his slippers in the shop before leaving. Unrepresented, Dinrasil requested a lenient sentence by saying that he is married with two children and worked as a labourer before being arrested. He was ordered to serve the sentence from the date of his arrest. Meanwhile, a 24-year-old man was fined RM100 or jailed three days for having garments believed to be stolen. Danny Ujit admitted to having two jerseys, a T-shirt and a tracksuit which he failed to explain on how he obtained them on April 28, at 3.30pm in a house at Kg Pasir Putih, Putatan. The charge under Section 22A(1) of the Minor Offences Ordinance, provides for a fine of up to RM100 and up to three months' jail or both, on conviction. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Klang boat incident: Victims believed not wearing life jackets
KLANG: All victims involved in the capsized boat incident in the waters off Tanjung Harapan here yesterday were believed not to be wearing life jackets. North Klang District Police chief ACP S Vijaya Rao said initial investigations also revealed that the boat, which was being test-driven, was operated by its owner at the time. He said the absence of life jackets had made the search and rescue (SAR) operation for the remaining two missing victims among the six people on board more difficult. 'Those who engage in activities at sea must wear life jackets, which are very useful during emergencies like this capsized boat incident, in addition to having swimming skills,' he said at a press conference at the search site in Tanjung Harapan today. Vijaya said the location where the boat capsized had been identified, but strong currents may have swept the two missing victims away and caused them to drown. Meanwhile, he said police had recorded statements from three individuals, including one survivor. 'The actual cause of the incident has yet to be determined, and the case is being investigated under Section 280 of the Penal Code,' he said. In the incident at about 5 pm, three individuals including a child died, one survived (Alvin Chang Yan Qin, 17), while a married couple remains missing. The deceased victims were Darren Gan, 3; Cheu Son Hin, 50; and Fong Yong Sen, 29, while those still missing have been identified as Gan Hon Tat, 32, and his wife Careen Man, 29, both from Klang Utama.
