GEORGE TOWN, Aug. 20 -- The wife of Pantai Jerejak assemblyman Fahmi Zainol has urged the Balik Pulau magistrates' court to dismiss a case of voluntarily causing hurt against her husband.

Nur Hidayah Abd Jabar told the court during the first day of the hearing today that she had withdrawn her initial police report and wished for the case to be dropped.

"I don't want to prolong this case as what happened was due to a misunderstanding, he did not mean to hurt me as there was a fight between us which resulted in me getting hurt from the fight," she testified today.

Fahmi, 35, was charged with voluntarily causing hurt to Nur Hidayah, 35, at their home in Persiaran Pantai Jerejak 11, Bayan Lepas, at approximately 10pm on February 22.
