Article summarisation and review

 


  Umaisyah, a 2 year old child, was abused by her parents repeatedly, until at the age of 2, she had a seizure after suffering fatal injuries and passed away.

  After realising what happened, her parents decided to hide the truth and burned up the carcass. As a result, her ashes were hidden under the kitchen.

  Sadly, the remains of her ashes were only found by her uncle five years later. The year when Umaisyah was supposed to turn seven, her parents got a call from MOE regarding why she didn’t attend primary school, which was covered up by her parents that she went to live with a distant relative.

  Finally, on September 19, 2023,Umaisyah’s father was sentenced to 21 1/2 years in jail and 18 strokes of the cane.  

                READERS THOUGHTS

  Personally, I think that Umaisyah’s father should have a heavier punishment. Since the irreversible damage has already been done, he should try his best to make up for it. This article should also serve as a reminder that parents should love their kids and not resort to extreme and violent ways to treat their kids.
