Mohamed Nisa Mohamed Nasir, 40, was charged in Kota Bharu Sessions Court with kicking his five-year-old daughter at an eatery on September 11, 2026. He pleaded not guilty.
## Serious penalties under Child Act
The charge falls under Section 31 of the Child Act 2001, carrying a maximum fine of RM50,000 or up to 20 years imprisonment, or both.
## Prosecution opposes bail release
Prosecutors argued against bail, citing concerns the accused could interfere with the victim, who is his biological daughter.
## Defence highlights military service
The defence argued for bail, noting the accused has served 19 years in the military, has no domestic violence record, and his unemployed wife depends on him for medical care.
## Court grants bail with conditions
The judge approved RM10,000 bail with one surety, requiring him to surrender his passport and report to police every two weeks.
## Witness protection order issued
As a bail condition, the accused is explicitly forbidden from interfering with prosecution witnesses, particularly his daughter.
## Case set for October mention
