Maid-abusing Datin barred from leaving the country

PETALING JAYA: Datin Rozita Mohamed Ali who was convicted of abusing her maid has been blacklisted from leaving the country.
Immigration director-general Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali said that the department had received a court order for Rozita to be blacklisted.
"The court has made the decision to bar her from going abroad and from our record so far, she has not left the country yet," he told theSun today.
He said that there was no similar order issued upon Rozita's bailor, but authorities can still blacklist the bailor from travelling.
Rozita, 44, was supposed to appear at the Shah Alam High Court for a review of her "good behaviour" sentence which sparked an outrage among the legal fraternity and the public.
She and her bailor did not appear in court on Wednesday.
Selangor Prosecution Officer Mohamed Iskandar Ahmad told the court that his team had gone to Rozita's house in Damansara and her family home in Malacca but still could not find her to serve the notice of urgency.
He also said her bailor was a personnel with the Royal Military Air Force and his home was in the Subang base where the notice of urgency was pasted.
The judge postponed Wednesday's review of Rozita's sentence to March 29.
Rozita was bound over for five years on a good behaviour bond of RM20,000 by the sessions court on March 15 for causing grievous injuries to her maid two years ago.
She was sentenced by the sessions court after she changed her plea to guilty for causing grievous injuries to Suyanti Sutrinso, 19, after the video of the incident went viral on social media.
The legal fraternity, humanitarian organisations and the public were outraged when Rozita was only given a five-year good behaviour bond despite her horrendous crime.
During the incident, Rozita had used a kitchen knife, a clothes hanger, a steel mop and an umbrella, causing multiple injuries to the victim's head, hands, legs and internal organs.
