A TEENAGE mother who forcibly pulled two teeth out from an Indonesian maid's gums was jailed a total of 26 months on Tuesday. Nur Rizan Mohd Sazali, 18, admitted forcibly extracting Ms Badingah's teeth and pouring hot wax on her head between June 2 and July 26 last year. Her brother, Muhammad Iz'aan Mohd Sazali, 20, was given six weeks for using a cane to hit the back of the victim's legs. The two siblings and their mother, Maselly Abdul Aziz, 38, were living at the Jalan Minyak flat with Maselly's friend, Elsa Elyana Said, 24, the maid's employer. Maselly, who initially pleaded guilty to two maid abuse charges and a Ministry of Manpower summons charge, had her plea rejected by District Judge Jill Tan. She had flipped-flopped after the statement of facts was read by the prosecution. She claimed the facts did not tell the whole story. Elsa, who is self-employed, will be sentenced next month for punching the maid and abetting Nur Rizan to forcibly extract the victim's teeth. Deputy Public Prosecutor Natalie Morris said the family and Elsa began abusing Ms Badingah after suspecting her of stealing money and other small valuables. The maid denied stealing but none of the accused persons believed her. The court heard that the victim was punished and was ordered to stand facing the door the whole night, lift her leg up and hold her ears. When she put her leg down, she was caned by Iz'aan. Rizan also tied the wrists of the victim with a bathrobe sash and poured boiling wax on her head and back after she and her brother accused her of stealing their cellphones. The prosecution urged the court to impose deterrent sentences for the severe abuses inflicted on the victim on many separate occasions. 'The victim was subject to systematic cruelty, to a campaign of, not only abuse, but cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment, amounting to torture,' said DPP Morris. http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_279170.html I think they must b mistaken.. she is practising to be a dentist.
