A defence for the maid beater

A defence for the maid beater
The housewife who outraged the nation with her alleged brutality againt the 19 years old Nirmala has pleaded non guilty.

Yim Pek Ha, 36, is a mother of four children, the youngest of whom is a nine-month-old baby is currently facing 4 charges, three of which are for causing grievous hurt to the girl with the use of dangerous weapons or means.

Save for the fourth offence – which carries a maximum seven-year jail term and fine – the other three each carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail as well as a hefty fine or whipping. If convicted of all offences, she would be liable for a maximum imprisonment of 67 years.

On another matter, The Star newspaper alleged that 800 emails expressing their outrage over the matter were sent to them. And popular blogger JeffOoi received more than 200 comments on his post regarding this said matter.

The law provides that every person charged is innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, the media has painted a dark and bias view against Yim. What has the media done to tell the other side of the story?

All they said was, “The husband of the accused alleged that Nirmala stole RM10,000 from his home last Wednesday.”. No further elaboration was made. Rather passive statement I would say.

It must be reminded that every charge shall be considered separately.

Every possibility that caused the injuries must be considered. What if Nirmala was a lying bitch who wanted to sabotage her employers? What if the injuries were a result of an accident which gave rise to Nirmala as an opportunity to get back to her employers?

Yim was alleged to have poured hot water on the maid, broke her nose with the steel mug and pressed a hot iron on her body on two occassions. What was the cause of the violent act? Was it because Nirmala was caught stealing again? Or Nirmala threatened to harm Yim?

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is submitted that the public shouldn’t rush to conclusion. Let the lady present her case first..

  1. I agree that we should hear her side of the story first before we make any judgements. Still, whatever Nirmala had done to irk her employers, they didn’t have to inflict such grievious bodily harm.RM10,000?!? He keeps that much cash in his house?!?

  2. I *think* that RM10,000 thing is crap. Anyways no matter what it is, it doesnt justify all the voilent acts. If she was caught stealing they should`ve report her so that the law will deal with her themselves. Sick sick sick!

  3. Read today’s Star. They wrote that one of maid’s nipple drop off due to the abuse. And the sad thing cannot grow back. like wtf.( )(.)aiyer.

  4. Applegal: rm10K maybe to pay wages and all hee johlin: i agree that she shouldnt have inflict such harm on her. however, the onus is on the prosecution to prove that yim caused the injuries beyond reasonable doubt. the prosecution would have a hard time proving it since it happened behind closed door..ivn: HAhahHAhah grow back nipple hahahhAHah ivan: the wife likes s&m prolly keke

  5. I mean in da argument and cents of fairness, we should hear both sides of da story.Nirmala’s side has been put forth by the press. How bout the side of Yim ???Anyhow, down wif YIM !!!!!!!!!! DOWN !!!!!!!!!! Reformasi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. yea.. there are always two sides to a story.. YIM is definitely guilty and the maid hmm.. she must be really dumb to annoy the bitch that bad. help me. im trying not to be judgemental.anyway, too much violence and ouch about the nipple. i mean , really. OUCH!

  7. Eh these ppl who kena life sentences, I wonder if one part of the prison is something like nursing home, with all the old geriatric criminals there.

  8. Even if Nirmala did commit a mistake (if applicable), what right does the employer has to torture her till that extend?In what way can the cause of injuries be related to Nirmala trying to sabotage her employers (if applicable)? Self-inflicted harm? Of course, I would like to hear the story from Yim’s side as well. She needs therapy man!
