PETALING JAYA - A businesswoman, who splashed chilli powder onto her husband's eyes, and punched and slapped his face, has been fined RM2,000 in default two months' jail.

Magistrate K.B. Eleena Hong Abdullah passed the sentence after ruling that the defence had failed to raise reasonable doubt.

Rasidah Rahmathullah, 37, was charged with causing voluntarily hurt to Mohamed Nasser Abdul Razak, 42, at their home in Jalan USJ 1/4L, Subang Jaya at about 3pm on April 19, 2010. (They divorced after the incident.)

The offence under Section 323 of the Penal Code carries a year's jail or RM2,000 (S$800) fine or both upon conviction.

Mohamed Nasser had an ongoing case in a different court for allegedly causing hurt to Rasidah by biting her shoulder.

DPP Wan Shahida Wan Omar prosecuted while Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali acted for Rasidah
