Focus on offence, not on gender of offender


THE Sessions Court of Kuantan delivered its sentence on the road rage case involving Siti Fairrah Ashykin “Kiki” Kamaruddin with admirable swiftness, earning praise from Malaysians and netizens (The Star, July 22).

While I believe I am not alone in applauding Sessions Judge Zainal Abidin Kamarudin for imposing a high fine and a community service order, I am dismayed by his choice of words when he reminded the accused to “behave like a lady”.
