Nasi lemak seller charged with raping girlfriend's daughter
KUALA LUMPUR : A nasi lemak seller pleaded not guilty in the sessions court in Ampang today to a charge of raping his girlfriend's underage daughter last year.
Azman Hasim, 61, made the plea before judge Norshila Kamarudin, while his 37-year-old girlfriend, who works as a security guard, claimed trial to a charge of abetting him.
Azman is accused of raping the girl, who was 12 years and four months old at the time, at a house in Hulu Langat at about 4pm sometime in mid-2024.
Both accused were not represented.
Deputy public prosecutor Hairuliqram Hairuddin asked that the couple be denied bail, citing concerns that they might tamper with the victim, who is the woman's biological daughter.
The court did not grant bail and fixed Aug 7 for mention of the case.

'All equipment, including the diving gear and M4 rifle, was found intact with the body,' it said. 'His remains were sent to Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital in Kuantan for a post-mortem.' Haswanir's body was flown back to his hometown in Semporna, Sabah, last night, and he was buried this morning at the Kampung Gusung Melanta Tesi cemetery on Pulau Bum Bum.

(Facebook pic) GEORGE TOWN : Penang Hill Corporation (PHC) has lodged a police report after the discovery of several dead animals, including dogs, cats, and birds, at various locations across Penang Hill. PHC general manager Cheok Lay Leng said the carcasses of seven dogs, three cats and five birds were found at multiple locations this morning, with some in open areas and spotted by the public. 'There might be more. We are still looking. We found food spread along the jeep track and a few locations,' he told FMT. 'We suspect the main targets are the stray dogs. There have been claims by hikers and visitors in recent weeks that they were bitten by strays.' Cheok said the agency will also lodge formal reports with the veterinary services department and the wildlife and national parks department (Perhilitan) on Tuesday, besides conducting its own internal probe. Earlier today, Penang Hill posted on its Facebook page that the animals were believed to have been poisoned. 'Using poison to eliminate stray animals is unacceptable and is punishable under the Penal Code (Act 574) and/or Animal Welfare Act 2015 (Act 772) with imprisonment, a fine, or both,' it said.
