HULU TERENGGANU - A JOBLESS man who failed to secure a RM30 (S$12.80) loan from his ex-wife struck back in cruel fashion - by splashing acid on her, his eight-year-old daughter and two others.
In the 2am attack at Kampung Sekayu here, Cek Ku Zaimah Che Ku Awang, 28, and Nurul Dahyatul Fazlinda Khalib suffered serious facial and body injuries. The others injured were Cek Ku Zaimah's mother Minah Omar, 56, and brother Mohd Irfan Firdaus, 28.
Met at the Sultanah Nur Zahirah hospital in Kuala Terengganu, Cek Ku Zaimah said her 32-year-old ex-husband had wanted to borrow RM30 from her but she refused.
'He insisted that I give him the money as he wanted to find a job in Kuala Lumpur but I ignored him,' she said from her hospital bed. Che Ku Zaimah said she had divorced her husband after finding out that he was a drug addict. They got married 12 years ago.
Recalling the incident, Che Ku Zaimah said her ex-husband stormed into her home at midnight and demanded cash. 'All of a sudden he started manhandling me but I managed to ward him off. He then rushed out from the house and returned a few minutes later with a bottle of acid before splashing it on me', she said.
Che Ku Zaimah said the family members who came to her aid were also attacked. State Acting CID chief Superintendent K. Manoharan said police are looking for the man who fled after the attack.
