Tenaganita is, however, satisfied with the Court of Appeal for upholding the conviction and 10-year jail sentence against her former employer.
Tenaganita said the case highlights the prevalence of abuse suffered by domestic workers and the exploitation they face.
“The sum awarded to the victim was not reflective of the amount of work and torment she endured for a decade,” Tenaganita said in a statement. The appellate court also upheld a decision by the sessions court in 2020 for Zaimatulhakma Abdul Hamid to pay RM50,000 in compensation. Though unhappy about the compensation for the victim, Tenaganita was satisfied with the appellate court’s decision to uphold the conviction against her former employer and the sentence meted out.
