Businessman Hoh Peng Onn, 47, was sentenced to six months in jail for assaulting his former girlfriend, causing injuries to her eyes and body.

The court ordered Hoh to pay RM5,000 in compensation to the victim, with a possible additional two-month jail term if unpaid.

Despite an appeal to the High Court, the court required immediate payment of the compensation while staying the prison sentence.

PETALING JAYA, Oct 13 — A businessman was sentenced to six months’ jail by the Magistrate’s Court here today for assaulting his former girlfriend, causing injuries to her eyes and body, two years ago.

Magistrate Amira Sariaty Zainal imposed the sentence on Hoh Peng Onn, 47, after the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt at the end of the defence case.

“The court orders that the prison sentence take effect from the date of conviction today. The accused must also pay RM5,000 in compensation to the victim, taking into account the trauma, injuries and emotional distress she suffered,” Amira Sariaty said.

The court also ordered that Hoh serve an additional two months in jail if he failed to pay the compensation today.

However, the court allowed an application by defence counsel Cheow Wee to stay the prison sentence pending an appeal to the High Court, but ordered that the compensation be paid today.

Hoh was charged with intentionally causing hurt to Liaw Ju Shuang, 28, at a residence in Putra Permai Town Centre, Seri Kembangan, at 12.30am on October 5, 2024.

The charge was brought under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of one year, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both.

In her judgment, Amira Sariaty said that although the neighbour, the third prosecution witness, did not witness the assault, the witness saw the victim with a bleeding head and bruises around her eyes and other parts of her body when she sought help.

“The witness also contacted the police, who took the victim to hospital for treatment. There was no reason for the victim to fabricate a story to frame the accused.

“In view of this, the court finds that the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt against the prosecution’s case, and was merely a denial unsupported by strong evidence and testimony,” Amira Sariaty said.

During mitigation, the defence sought a fine, citing the accused’s eyesight problems, which it said would make imprisonment difficult for him.

However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Syed Ahmed Khabir Abdul Rahman sought a jail term and a fine, arguing that the public interest outweighed that of the accused, given the extent of the victim’s injuries, and requested that compensation be awarded to her. — Bernama

47岁的商人何鹏安因殴打前女友，致其眼部和身体受伤，被判入狱六个月。

法庭判令何某向受害者支付 5000 令吉赔偿金，如不支付，可能加判两个月监禁。

尽管被告向高等法院提出上诉，但法院仍要求立即支付赔偿金，同时暂缓执行监禁刑罚。

八打灵再也，10月13日讯——一名商人今天被地方法庭判处六个月监禁，罪名是两年前殴打前女友，导致其眼睛和身体受伤。

地方法官阿米拉·萨里亚蒂·扎伊纳尔对47岁的何鹏翁判处了刑罚，因为辩方在辩护结束时未能提出合理的怀疑。

“法庭裁定，监禁刑期自今日判决之日起生效。被告还必须向受害者支付5000令吉的赔偿金，以弥补她所遭受的创伤、伤害和精神痛苦，”阿米拉·萨里亚蒂说道。

法院还下令，如果何某今天未能支付赔偿金，则需额外服刑两个月。

然而，法庭准许了辩护律师周伟的申请，暂缓执行监禁刑罚，等待向高等法院提出上诉，但下令今天支付赔偿金。

Hoh被控于2024年10月5日凌晨12点30分在斯里肯邦安布特拉柏迈镇中心的一处住宅内故意伤害28岁的Liaw Ju Shuang。
