Far-zone scattered intensity of a quasi-homogeneous medium illuminated with a plane scalar field is re-derived under the first Born approximation. Markov-like approximation is introduced to obtain a concise expression for the scattered intensity. Our work is an extension of the one in [Opt. Lett.40, 1709, (2015)] to a more general mathematical model. Our result provides a convenient way for one to steer the scattered intensity with the prescribed weak scattering media. Two examples of novel media are introduced to illustrate the result.
