🚨 Lawyer Z Malik of e-hailing driver Inong stated that the charges against the police officer who assaulted his client are inadequate.

⚖️ Malik expressed that while the court proceedings brought some relief, the sentence is insufficient given that the perpetrator is a police officer, whose role is to protect the public.

📜 He referenced a court of appeal decision involving former Inspector General of Police Abdul Rahim, emphasizing that the courts must send a message of public abhorrence by imposing a custodial sentence, even for first offenders.

📰 Malik highlighted that the principle established in the Rahim case is crucial for cases involving police assaults on the public.

🙏 He expressed gratitude for the public support over the past 5 months in seeking justice for Inong.

📅 Malik noted that they were unaware that the accused would be charged in court that day, and Inong could not be present to witness the guilty plea.

🏛️ The Kuala Lumpur Magistrates Court imposed a 1,000 ringgit fine on Lance Corporal Muhammad TFI Ismail for causing hurt to Inong.
