Magistrate Nur Shahirah Abdul Salim sentenced Mohammed Hafiz Mohamed Fadzil, 31, after he pleaded guilty to voluntarily causing hurt to Sambar Lama by slapping him on his left cheek.
The incident happened at Mentari Court Apartment in PJS8/9, Sungei Way Street, here at 9.20pm, on Jan 21.
According to the facts of the case, the victim, who was on duty at the main entrance of the apartment, had directed the accused to register at the guardhouse before entering the apartment. Instead, Hafiz refused and slapped him.
Hafiz, who was unrepresented, mitigated for a minimum fine, telling the court that he had just started working and had a wife and three children to support.
However, deputy public prosecutor Abu Arsalnaa Zainal Abidin urged the court to impose an appropriate sentence as a lesson to the accused and on account of public security.
