Justice has prevailed for abused maid

THE case of Rozita Mohamad Ali who was originally bound over for five years on a good behaviour bond of RM20,000 after being found guilty of abusing her domestic helper, Suyanti Sutrinso, was the talk of the town recently.

The original sentence caused uproar among members of the public who felt it was not commensurate with the seriousness of the crime she committed on her maid two years ago. She had used a variety of weapons including a kitchen knife, steel mop, an umbrella and a clothes hanger on Suyanti who suffered injuries on her head, hands, legs and internal organs.
