PETALING JAYA: The Johor Bahru sessions court has ordered that the younger sister of the man accused of attacking the Ulu Tiram police station receive medical treatment, after she exhibited symptoms of depression.
Judge Rasidah Roslee made the order after lawyer Faizal Rahman requested that 19-year-old Mariah Radin Imran be referred to hospital, Berita Harian reported.
Faizal said Mariah had displayed symptoms of depression when he met her and four family members at the Simpang Renggam prison late last month.
Deputy public prosecutor Fazeedah Faik did not object to the application. She also requested that a new mention date be fixed for the case pending the preparation of a report by a terrorism expert.
Rasidah directed that the case be called up again in court on Sept 2, after which it will be transferred to the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
Mariah’s father, Radin Imran Radin Yassin, is standing trial on four counts of inciting the commission of terrorist acts, under Section 130G(a) of the Penal Code.

He was charged last month with spreading Islamic State ideology to members of his family, including 21-year-old Radin Luqman, who carried out the attack.
Radin Imran’s eldest son, Radin Romyullah, was charged with two counts of the same charge, while Radin Imran’s wife Rosna Jantan and their two daughters – Farhah Sobrina and Mariah – face one count each.
On May 17, Radin Luqman stormed into the Ulu Tiram police station armed with a gun and parang and killed two constables: Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar, 22, and Syafiq Ahmad Said, 24.
Another policeman was injured in the 2.45am incident before Radin Luqman was shot and killed at the scene.
