00:00The High Court today jailed a businessman for four months after revising a magistrate's court sentence
00:06for the assault of a senior citizen last month, an incident which went viral after being captured on video.
00:13Justice Aslam Zainuddin imposed the custodial term on Saiful Adli Yusof 52
00:18in a revision hearing involving two charges of voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation against Liu Kun Fu 70.
00:28The court invoked Section 323 of the Criminal Procedure Code and set aside the RM5,000 fine imposed by the
00:35magistrate on February 10th.
00:37Liu earlier read out a victim impact statement in Mandarin, telling the court that he now suffers from trauma,
00:43fearful of leaving his home and no longer dead to drive.
00:47He said he required six stitches to his tongue, which made eating difficult and denied deliberately crashing into Saiful's vehicle.
00:55Saiful, on the other hand, had claimed that he lost control after his Toyota Velfire was struck,
01:01causing his three-day-old baby to slip from his wife's arms and fall.
01:06Deputy Public Prosecutor Shahrul Ihsan Hasim described the respondent's actions as cruel,
01:12referring to video footage that showed the victim being kicked three times, punched and pinned against a car door.
