Nur Amira Shahirah Azmi, 21, pleaded guilty to hurting the woman, who was a vulnerable person.

The victim and where the incident happened cannot be named due to a court order.

The victim had been diagnosed with an intellectual disability over 10 years ago, making her a vulnerable person.

The victim was attending training at the place where the incident occurred. She and a man were waiting for lunch. Trainers had told the victim not to help the man during lunch as part of his training to be independent. Before lunch, the victim and the man were in a classroom. The trainers had previously instructed the victim not to assist the man.

When it was time for lunch, the victim tried to help the man. A trainer reminded her not to help him, so she went to the door alone.

Amira heard a colleague remind the victim not to help the man. Amira was angry that the victim did not listen, so she scolded her.

Amira pushed the victim, who fell and hit a foam structure. The victim cried, but Amira stood over her and scolded her for 10 seconds.

Amira walked away but came back to scold the victim again for 20 seconds while the victim was still on the ground.

The victim pointed to her hurt knee, but Amira did not see any obvious injury. Amira tried to help the victim up, but the victim stayed on the floor.

Amira left the room briefly and came back to see the victim standing with help from a table. Amira then helped the victim back to her seat.

Later, other trainers saw that the victim could not stand or walk alone. Amira told her supervisors about the victim's condition but said she did not know why the victim was in pain.

The victim's mother was told, and Amira and another trainer took the victim home.

The victim went to the hospital, where doctors found she had a knee injury. She was admitted for more tests, which showed a dislocation and fractures.

The victim did not need surgery but wore a special knee brace for six weeks.

Amira told her supervisors she had pushed the victim. A colleague reported the incident to the police, and the victim's mother also made a report.

The organisation paid for the victim's medical expenses and gave her S$1,200.

Amira was arrested and charged in court.

Amira could have been jailed for up to five years or fined up to S$10,000 for hurting the victim.

If someone hurts a vulnerable person on purpose, the court can give them up to twice the normal punishment.
