KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court here was shown several video recordings of the treatment given to the residents of Rumah Bonda, allegedly like slaves, by its founder Siti Bainun Ahd Razali (pic). In earlier proceedings, Yasmin, the fifth prosecution witness, said she had been treated like a slave by Siti Bainun while staying at the shelter. When cross-examined by lawyer representing Siti Bainun, Nur A'minahtul Mardiah Md Nor who asked if she was treated like a slave by Siti Bainun despite the footage showing otherwise, Yasmin replied: Yes. Nur A'minahtul Mardiah: Bella gave her abuser a long tight hug? Siti Bainun, 30, is charged with two counts of neglecting and abusing the teen, between February and June 2021, resulting in the victim sustaining physical and emotional injuries.
