The steering lock wielder pays the price for her road rage
KUANTAN: Siti Fairrah Ashykin Kamaruddin, the woman caught on video abusing an elderly man and battering his car with a steering lock, was today fined RM5,000 and ordered to carry out 240 hours of community service.
Bernama reports that the 30-year-old Siti Fairrah, better known by her nickname Kiki, pleaded guilty at the Kuantan Sessions Court this morning to a charge of causing mischief and damage.
In passing the sentence, judge Zainal Abidin Kamarudin said she was lucky that the victim, Sim Siak Hing, had forgiven her and decided not to pursue the matter further.
Sim, 68, had earlier told the media that Kiki and her father apologised to him and that he promised them he would not make a police report or pursue criminal charges. Kiki became the talk of the nation after a video recording of the July 14 incident was uploaded on YouTube.
The clip inspired wisecracks, parodies and statements of reprimand from a broad spectrum of Malaysians.
Two days after the incident, Kiki posted a Facebook article apologising to “all Malaysians” for her behaviour and pleading for the removal of the video clip. In an interview with NTV7, she said: “This is my biggest mistake, and I know it is hard but I hope Malaysians can forgive me. That video has ruined my life.
