The Sessions Court judge, Izralizam Sanusi, stated that Siti Bainun’s defense was not credible, and she had failed to cast reasonable doubt on the case.

The charges are framed under Section 31(1)(a) of the Children’s Act 2001, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years’ imprisonment, a fine of RM50,000, or both. Lawyers were appointed to keep a watching brief in the case by the Tengku Mahkota of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.
