SEPANG: A Chinese national was sentenced to a month’s jail and fined RM2,000 by the Magistrate’s Court for injuring an Immigration officer at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1.
Magistrate Khairatul Animah Jelani sentenced Fang Fuyuan, who pleaded guilty to the offence after the charge was read in Mandarin to her by a court interpreter.
The 31-year-old was ordered to serve the jail sentence from the date of her arrest and to serve an additional two months if she failed to pay the fine.
Fang was charged with voluntarily causing hurt to Immigration officer Nurdiana Atirah Shapinaz Abdul Rahman while she was performing her duties at the Immigration counter, Level 4, KLIA Terminal 1 Departure Hall, at 8pm last Wednesday.
According to the facts of the case, Nurdiana Atirah Shapinaz was instructed by a colleague at the Immigration counter to move Fang and her three family members aside to make way for a Bangladeshi passenger behind them, as they were found to have no record of entering Malaysia.
Fang raised her voice, pulled the complainant’s headscarf and pushed her face and head against a pole in front of the counter when told to step aside.
The complainant suffered a concussion, injuries to the left side of her face, pain under the eyes and swelling. — Bernama
