00:00The Shah Alam High Court has fixed December 23 to decide whether to stay the five-year
00:05prison sentence of Zain Rayyan Abdul-Mattin's mother, who was convicted of neglect causing
00:10the boy's physical injury two years ago.
00:13Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin set the date after Deputy Public Prosecutor Raja Zaisul Farida.
00:19Raja Zaharuddin argued that there were no special or exceptional grounds to justify
00:24a stay of execution.
00:26Raja Zaisul Farida submitted that the defense for 30-year-old Ismaneera Abdul-Manaf had failed
00:32to show that the petaling Jaya Sessions Court judge erred in law when dismissing her initial
00:37stay application.
00:39She added that the appellant's argument hat, she has a young child diagnosed with autism,
00:44did not constitute exceptional circumstances.
00:47Earlier, Ismaneera's counsel, Haresh Mahadevan, contended that a stay of execution was warranted
00:54due to exceptional circumstances involving her second child, who is also autistic and currently
01:00under the custody of his father.
01:02He argued that the six-year-old required his mother's emotional support and continuous care.
01:08On November 19, Ismaneera filed an application to stay the five-year sentence for neglecting
01:14her son, Zayn Rayyan.
01:17She was sentenced to five years in prison by the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court on October
01:2231, after being found guilty of neglecting her autistic son and causing him injury.
01:28She was also ordered to sign a two-year bond with a 3,000 ringgit surety and perform 120 hours
01:35of post-release community service.
