Furthermore, she attended the races on 10th June 2017 and performed her normal duties at PNTC which, in the opinion of the Stewards, was misleading.

When deciding on the penalty, the Stewards took into account the facts of the case and mitigating factors. She was fined a sum of RM2,500/- (Ringgit Malaysia Two Thousand Five Hundred) and was advised of her Right of Appeal (2.05 pm).

On 29th July 2017, she exercised her Right of Appeal to the Racing Stewards.
