BERNAMA – The Malaysian Sessions Court sentenced a former babysitter at a childcare centre to 14 months in prison for endangering a one-year-and-five-month-old toddler, which could have resulted in physical injury four months ago.

Judge Mazuliana Abdul Rashid handed down the sentence on Nor A’in Ismail, 24, after she maintained her guilty plea on the charge at yesterday’s sentencing proceedings.

The court imposed a three-year good behaviour bond on Nor A’in with a surety of MYR2,000 and ordered her to complete 120 hours of community service after serving her jail sentence.

As the verdict was delivered, the accused, clad in a black dress, was seen in tears, hugging her husband, who was present in the courtroom.
