Bank clerk Nina Suraya Sulaiman could not hide her relief after the Sessions Court here sentenced her Indonesian maid to 20 years' jail for abusing her 4-month-old baby.
Yuliana, 24, from Aceh, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and physical abuse of Mohamed Hareez Mohamed Zamri.
She committed the offences at the victim's home at Lorong Bukit Setongkol, Kuantan, at 7.45am on Feb 15.

Judge Mohd Azhar Othman sentenced her to 15 years' imprisonment for the first offence and another five years for the second offence. Azhar, however, ordered the jail terms to run concurrently from the date of arrest.
He said the deterrent sentence would serve not only as a lesson to the accused but also the public.
"Children should always be given loving care because they carry the hopes of the next generation," he said, adding that Yuliana's act would also affect people's trust in their maids.
Nina later told reporters that Hareez's condition had improved after he was discharged from Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital on Monday.
