PETALING JAYA: A former part-time tuition teacher was fined RM1,200 in default two months’ jail by the magistrates&#8217; court in Kuching, Sarawak, today for slapping a 14-year-old student who mocked her looks.
Nur Hanisah Abdullah, 24, pleaded guilty to a charge of voluntarily causing hurt, The Borneo Post reported.
She was accused of committing the offence on Feb 16 last year.
The student’s father lodged a police report after seeing a video of the incident, which was uploaded on Facebook early last month.
It later emerged that the teacher slapped the student over a WhatsApp status mocking her looks.
The teenager had questioned the need for the teacher to use a filter in her picture when she was wearing makeup.
Deputy public prosecutor Chuah Kai Sheng handled the prosecution. Nur Hanisah was not represented.
