Former e-hailing driver in JB gets eight years’ jail for making toddler to eat faeces

A former e-hailing driver, Chan Wen Jie, was sentenced to eight years and six months in prison by the Johor Bahru High Court for the abuse of a three-year-old boy in 2022.

Chan, who pleaded guilty to child abuse under the Child Act 2001, was also ordered to perform community service and adhere to a good behavior bond.

Judicial Commissioner Datuk Abdul Fareed Abdul Gafoor dismissed claims that the abusive actions were disciplinary, highlighting the severity and cruelty of the acts.

The initial murder charge against Chan was dropped, and the court focused solely on the abuse offense for sentencing.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 —A former e-hailing driver was sentenced to eight years and six months’ imprisonment by the High Court in Johor Bahru today for abusing a three-year-old boy in 2022, which included forcing the child to eat his own excrement.

Chan Wen Jie, 32, pleaded guilty before Judicial Commissioner Datuk Abdul Fareed Abdul Gafoor to an alternative charge of child abuse under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, FMT reported.

The father of two was ordered to serve his sentence from his arrest on Oct 3, 2022, perform 36 hours of community service within six months, and execute a three-year good behaviour bond.

In his judgment, Fareed rejected the defence’s argument that the acts, captured on closed-circuit television, were merely intended to discipline the toddler.

“The accused not only caned the victim but also slapped him, hit him on the head and forced him to do squats, stand for long periods and eat his faeces from his disposable diaper.

“Forcing the child to eat faeces was a cruel and degrading act that could in no way be considered a form of discipline. If the accused was unable to care for the victim, he should have handed the child back to his father,” he said.

Chan was originally charged in 2022 with murdering the boy, Lee See Jie, at a house in Taman Skudai Ria, Skudai, on Oct 2.

The capital murder charge was subsequently withdrawn, with the court clarifying that it did not weigh the initial murder charge or the child’s cause of death when determining the sentence for the abuse offence.

Deputy Public Prosecutors Edelynn Wong and Nur Diyana Zubir prosecuted, while K. Sarawanakumar and Freda Sabapathy represented Chan.

一名曾是网约车司机的陈文杰因在 2022 年虐待一名三岁男童，被柔佛州新山高等法院判处八年零六个月监禁。

陈某承认违反 2001 年《儿童法》虐待儿童罪，并被勒令进行社区服务并遵守良好行为保证。

司法专员拿督阿卜杜勒·法里德·阿卜杜勒·加福尔驳斥了虐待行为属于纪律处分的说法，强调了这些行为的严重性和残酷性。

对陈的最初谋杀指控被撤销，法院仅就虐待罪进行量刑。

吉隆坡，10 月 14 日讯——一名曾是网约车司机的男子今天在柔佛州新山高等法院被判处 8 年 6 个月监禁，罪名是他在 2022 年虐待一名 3 岁男童，其中包括强迫该男童吃自己的粪便。

据 FMT 报道，32 岁的 Chan Wen Jie 在司法专员 Datuk Abdul Fareed Abdul Gafoor 面前承认犯有根据 2001 年儿童法令第 31(1)(a) 条规定虐待儿童的替代指控。

这位有两个孩子的父亲被判处自 2022 年 10 月 3 日被捕之日起服刑，并在六个月内完成 36 小时的社区服务，并遵守三年的良好行为保证。

法里德法官在判决中驳回了辩方的论点，即闭路电视录像显示的行为仅仅是为了管教这名幼儿。

“被告不仅用藤条殴打受害者，还扇他耳光、打他的头，强迫他做深蹲、长时间站立，并让他吃掉自己一次性尿布里的粪便。

“强迫孩子吃粪便是一种残忍且有辱人格的行为，绝不能被视为一种管教方式。如果被告无力照顾受害者，就应该把孩子还给他的父亲，”他说。

Chan 最初于 2022 年被控于 10 月 2 日在士古来 Taman Skudai Ria 的一所房子里谋杀了男孩 Lee See Jie。

随后撤销了谋杀罪的指控，法院澄清说，在确定虐待罪的刑罚时，并没有考虑最初的谋杀指控或儿童的死因。

副检察官 Edelynn Wong 和 Nur Diyana Zubir 提起诉讼，而 K. Sarawanakumar 和 Freda Sabapathy 代表陈。
