"KUALA LUMPUR: Local rock icon Amy of Search will have to pay RM18,000 in damages to the boy scalded by hot tom yam soup in the restaurant he owned.
The Sessions Court here has ruled in favour of five-year-old Nik Muhammad Zakwan Nik Zahir based on grounds that an employer could be held liable for his staff's negligence.
Judge Sabariah Othman ordered Amy to pay RM8,000 in general damages, RM10,000 as specific damages for surgery and 6% in interestsand costs.
In his statement of claim, Nik Muhammad's father Nik Zahir Nik Mohd Idris had claimed that a big bowl of tom yam soup splashed on the child's back on June 17, 2008 and scalded him due to the waiter's alleged carelessness.
Nik Muhammad was subsequently treated at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for second degree burns.
Amy, whose real name is Suhaimi Abdul Rahman, had been operating the Restoran Laksamana Cheng Ho since April 2008."
>>>>From that news, I had exprienced that kind situation. It happen to my daugther 4 years ago at Kuala Terengganu. The restaurant was in front of Sekolah Khairiah. The same story happen to my daugther, the big bowl of mee rebus splash to both my daugther legs. That time my daugther was 1 year old. From the doctor statement there was 2nd degree burn. Do you know how long she in the ward and how many times mywife and I go to hospital. From her face it's can tell how much pain she need to carry out. So sad......but what can do...the restaurant not like Amy Search restaurant, cannot do anything, berserah kepada Allah Taala jer lah.....if big restaurant, you can sue but this one hard to believe. The trademark was there, both my daugther legs leaving so many story in her life.
Anyway, be carefull eating in the restaurant with your family especially you have baby. Please told the waitress/waiter to put your meal away from you and your baby or your kids...alway remember....you can avoid it from happen.
