KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — Perak executive councillor Paul Yong, who had allegedly raped his Indonesian domestic worker should have the latter’s passport surrendered if police feel there is a flight risk, Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng said today.
Lim said the alleged rape victim, who had lodged the report on Monday should not leave the country as well until the case has been resolved.
“The police should apply for Paul to surrender his passport to the authority if the police think that he might be a flight risk however small the possibility may be.
At the same time, the alleged rape victim should not be allowed to leave Malaysia until the police have investigated the case thoroughly and the case has been tried in court in the event that Paul is charged for allegedly raping her,” he said in a statement today.
Lim said police must have had followed the Standard Operating Procedure and gathered enough reasonable evidence before arresting Yong as the rule of law must be upheld at all times, regardless of the person involved in the case.
“The arrest of Paul Yong, an executive councillor of the Perak state government who is accused of rape by his former Indonesian maid has indeed brought into focus once again the police’s Standard Operating Procedure.

“The police must have gathered enough reasonable evidence before arresting Paul, otherwise the police would categorise the complaint as ‘no further action (NFA)’ or investigate the maid for making a false police report,” the statement read.
On Wednesday, Yong had acknowledged that he is the Perak official accused of raping his Indonesian helper, but rejected the allegation as false and baseless.
The State Local Government, Public Transport, Non-Muslim Affairs and New Villages Committee chairman was arrested on Tuesday after news of the allegation surfaced following a police report lodged by the domestic worker on Monday.
Yong allegedly raped the Indonesian woman at his house in Meru, Perak.

what is enough reasonable evidence?
ReplyDeleteWhen the maid succumbs to pressure and withdraws her report.
DeleteWomen's groups in DAP and outside to be kept under control during this time.
Your daughter is next.
irrelevant reply, as usual.
DeleteIt should be treated like any normal investigation of allegations of rape cases when reported by victims to PDRM/Police. And usually, suspects are brought to court to be charged after investigations by PDRM completed and the accused can then fight in court if he is innocent.
ReplyDeletePDRM should investigate and charge the suspect asap and provide protection to the victim while doing ongoing investigations.
Thus, being a public interest case now, it needs the PDRM to even hastened to deny those political hellhounds from exploiting this incident to be blown up into something else.
And how long usually does it take PDRM to investigate reports of rape cases? The longer the delay, the possibility of evidences like victim's injuries, DNA collection, testimonies of witnesses and doctors etc may even be gone the longer it takes.
In the meantime, if the alleged suspect feels he is being victimised for whatever reasons, besides lodging just a police report, shouldn't he also file a civil suit against the victim, if it is just slander and lies to tarnish his reputation?
New DAP policy. Terowong Tokong no civil suit. Ini pun sama.
DeleteDeviation from head party in Tanah Tokong Selatan. There, either you sue or you hara-kiri. (But policy on Indians same here and there).
Sini, just hold off on the swimming pool.
The new Rahim Thamby Chik, but worse.
ReplyDeleteI really should go back to my old moniker:
"UMNO dan DAP sekarang sama".
Don't blame him, he is only learning from his motherland

Some more ideas for Lim Lip Eng
ReplyDelete1) Make sure no one else will employ the maid
2) Make sure she pays for her own room and board.
3) Drag on the investigation for as long as possible
4) Find out who she owes money to for the money to come to Malaysia, and use that leverage.
5) During this time, make sure she suffers far more than Paul Yong
6) Reveal her identity and photo to orang Cina
7) Keep doing this until she breaks.
DAP boleh!
NO separate set of laws for an Exco.
ReplyDeleteThe man should be in a remand lockup, not walking around free.
Awak YB ke ? Saya YB?
