Last Friday, a Singaporean monk and his female companion from a temple in Kulai were arrested for allegedly assaulting a maid after she turned down his marriage proposal.
On Wednesday, he walked away scot free after his companion pleaded guilty to the crime.
The 53-year-old controversial monk was released from police custody because – get this! – there was no proof he was involved in the assault.
Kulai OCPD Supt Razak Md Said told The Star Online that the 46-year-old woman pleaded guilty for “causing hurt by dangerous means” at the Kulai magistrate’s court.
She was fined RM5,000, in default six months’ jail, and paid the fine. Razak also added that the monk was a witness in the investigation.
The pair was arrested after the 23-year-old maid lodged a police report that they hit her using their hands and a hammer after she refused to marry the monk.
