In 2021, the whole nation was shocked to hear about how a disabled child named Bella was badly tortured by the founder of Rumah Bonda. For those who did not know, Rumah Bonda is an unlicensed welfare home that ‘supposedly’ cares for orphans and disabled kids. The president of Rumah Bonda is none other than Siti Bainun, the accused, while the vice president of Rumah Bonda is Syed Azmi.
A police report was lodged against the founder by the ex-residents of the house as they were all mortified by the level of torture that Bella had to went through daily. They witnessed Bella beaten up with a hanger till the hanger broke, forced to stand up in a corner from early in the morning till nighttime, sprinkled with hot water frequently, stripped naked, and many more. The worse evil ordeal that she went through was when the founder forced Bella to eat her excrement.
The case has caught the attention of Her Highness Che Puan Khaleeda. She took it to her Instagram to comment on the case and said: “I will do everything with the power that I have to get justice for Bella. I’m sick and tired of these cowards who think they can do whatever they want to these helpless children and get away with it. You can hide behind your army of lawyers but karma will eventually hit you so hard in this world and the hereafter. You will be made an example for the rest of the other cowards out there to not even think of the thoughts in the future!”
Miss Grand Malaysia 2020, Jasebel Robert also took it to social media to express her concern regarding the case: “How scary and horrendous people like this are lurking around kids, taking care of kids that need special care. The problem is the whole system where healthcare workers should be paid more, the social worker should have a more intensive hiring system with benefits and a more stringent set of rules for people that run places like these and it actually being regulated.”
