Raping girl, 14: Jail, rotan for carwash worker
Published on: Thu, Jul 10, 2025
By: Cynthia D Baga Text Size: The offence under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code carries a jail term of up to 20 years and whipping, on conviction. Kota Kinabalu: A 27-year-old carwash worker was sentenced to nine years in prison and three strokes of the cane for raping an underaged girl who then gave birth to a baby girl as a result from the rape. Sessions Court Judge Elsie Primus meted out the sentence to Khairul Nizam Pilok who was found guilty of raping the girl on Wednesday. The court ruled that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt against Khairul. Khairul was convicted of raping the 14-years and two-months-old girl between 10pm on May 5, 2023 and 5am on May 6, 2023 in the bedroom of a house in Sipitang. The offence under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code carries a jail term of up to 20 years and whipping, on conviction. Khairul was ordered to serve the jail sentence from the date of conviction on Wednesday. In mitigation, Khairul who was not represented, asked for leniency saying that he was remorseful. He claimed that it was a consensual sex as the victim came to him. Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurul Shafeerah Mad Iskim urged the court to impose the heaviest sentence on Kahirul considering that he had wasted the court's time as the trial had been ongoing for some time. She added that the witnesses brought forward by Kahirul did not have any relevance to the case and further delayed the trial. Nurul also submitted that it should be noted by this Honourable Court that the victim was pregnant and had given birth to the child. 'Khairul's act had caused this child to be raised without her biological father. Though Khairul had sought for an apology from the victim, the trauma will forever remain as a dark chapter in the victim's life. 'A heavy punishment would also act as a deterrent because the prosecution submits that victim especially children must at all costs be protected by the Law against any offence especially sexual offence,' she said. The prosecution had called four witnesses and only two defence had testified during the hearing. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Ex-Melaka Youth and Sports director charged with accepting RM4,000 bribe
JOHOR BARU: The former director of the Melaka Youth and Sports Department was charged in the Sessions Court here today with two counts of accepting bribes totalling RM4,000, allegedly committed two years ago. The accused, Khairul Adri Rosli, 51, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read before Judge Datuk Ahmad Kamal Arifin Ismail. According to the charge sheet, Khairul Adri was accused of receiving RM4,000 from a representative of a repair contractor company, transferred through the company's account into the account of a woman with connections to his official duties. The money was allegedly linked to repair works involving the construction of a guardhouse at the Melaka Youth and Sports Complex, valued at RM49,950. The offences were allegedly committed at two different banks in Tampoi and Permas Jaya on Jan 6, 2023, and Feb 16, 2023. For this offence, he was charged under Section 165 of the Penal Code, which carries a punishment of up to two years' imprisonment, a fine, or both, upon conviction. Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy public prosecutor Siti Asmah Zainal Ariffin proposed bail of RM7,000 for both charges. Khairul Adri, who was represented by Nurashidah Md Razip, appealed for a lower amount, stating that his client is also facing five charges in the Melaka Sessions Court on June 17, for which bail was set at RM20,000, and he had also pleaded not guilty in those cases. However, Ahmad Kamal set bail at RM6,000 for both charges with one local surety. The court rejected the defence's request to apply the same bail granted in the Sessions Court and fixed Aug 29 for mention and document submission.
