The Kuantan Session's Court was told that an army corporal and his wife, accused of chaining their 10-year-old son by the neck to a gas cylinder in October last year, will be sending a letter of representation to the Attorney-General's Chambers. The letter may seek for the prosecution to either drop the charges or propose for the accused to plead guilty to a lesser charge, among others. Judge Datuk Unizah Mohd has set February 12th for re-mention of the case. On October 5th, the boy was found lying on the floor with his neck chained to the gas cylinder. The police had to break open the locked house to rescue the boy, who was found unconscious. 32-year-old Mohd Farid Fikri Mohamad and his wife Fatimah Muhammad Zain, aged 37, claimed trial to two charges of abuse on November 10th. Mohd Farid and Fatimah, who is the boy's biological mother face a maximum RM50,000 fine, imprisonment of up to 20 years, or both, if found guilty under the Child Act.
