: A housewife appealing against an eight-year jail sentence for causing grevious hurt to her maid has successfully applied to the Court of Appeal for the temporary use of her impounded passport to perform umrah .
Justice Umi Kalthum, who led the panel, however, imposed an additional sum of RM5,000 on her bail of RM25,000.Rozita, through her counsel Luqman Mazlan, had applied for the return of her passport to enable her to perform umrah from April 4 to 14. Rozita was let off with a good behaviour bond of five years with a surety of RM20,000 after she pleaded guilty at the Petaling Jaya sessions court in March last year to a lesser charge of causing grievous hurt to her 19-year-old Indonesian maid Suyanti Sutrinso at a house in Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, on June 21, 2016.
The case was then called up for revision by High Court judge Datuk Seri Tun Majid Tun Hamzah who reversed the sessions court’s decision and imposed an eight-year jail term on Rozita after ruling that the bond of five years was inappropriate.
