In Kota Bharu, Kelantan, a 24-year-old man was sentenced to one month in jail for assaulting a mentally challenged man, last year. Sessions Court judge Ahmad Bazli Bahruddin also ordered Husairi Abdullah to pay RM2,000 compensation to the victim after he pleaded guilty to the charge. According to the charge sheet, Husairi had voluntarily caused harm to 63-year-old Ismail Nor using an aluminium broom at a surau in Kampung Pengkalan Bharu, Bachok on February 9th 2017. The accused was apparently angry at the victim for taking food at his mother's stall using his hands. The mentally challenged man suffered a broken leg, hand and injury to his face due to the assault. The accused was charged under Section 24 of the Penal Code which provides a jail term of up to 10 years or whipping if found guilty. The court ordered the sentence to begin today.
