Mother, boyfriend arrested over alleged rape and planned assault of 13-year-old daughter
Mother accused of conspiring in daughter's rape case This disturbing case serves as a reminder of the critical need for child protection and vigilance against abuse, even within the confines of a home. SHAH ALAM – Police have arrested a 36-year-old mother and her 61-year-old boyfriend to facilitate investigations into both a planned rape at a Kuala Lumpur hotel and a prior alleged rape of her 13-year-old daughter in 2024. According to media reports, the victim discovered text messages between her mother and the suspect. Police are investigating the horrific alleged abuse of a 13-year-old girl, with two suspects, including her mother, remanded for questioning in a case that has shocked the community. - Photo courtesy of PDRM In these messages, the man explicitly stated his intention to have sexual intercourse with the girl. The mother allegedly consented to the act and arranged a meeting at an unspecified hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Upon realising the danger, the teenager fled to a friend's home before filing a report at Pandan Indah police station on June 25. Ampang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail confirmed that both suspects were arrested on the same day. The woman, a security guard and her boyfriend, a local trader, were detained by the Ampang Jaya Criminal Investigation Department (CID) personnel. Investigators cited damning text messages proving the mother's active involvement in planning the assault. 'The correspondence unequivocally shows the boyfriend's intent to rape the victim, with the mother's full approval. 'Further investigations revealed the girl had previously been raped by the same man in 2024, an assault that her mother allegedly witnessed," he said in a statement today. Federal Police Sexual, Women and Child Investigation Division's (D11) principal assistant director Senior Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan revealed the victim had been previously assaulted at age 12. The girl awoke during the mid-2024 incident to find the suspect raping her, as her mother observed. Initial investigations found that both suspects tested negative for drugs and had no prior criminal records. The court approved a seven-day remand until July 4 for further interrogations. The case is being investigated under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code for rape, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years' imprisonment and caning. Authorities have recorded statements from five individuals, including the two suspects. The victim is scheduled to give her formal testimony at the Child Interview Centre (CIC) on July 1. The arrests took place at 6.30pm last week. More Like This

KK MP rewards 367 top SPM students
Chan (fifth right) with the outstanding SPM students who received the 'Anugerah Kecemerlangan SPM MADANI' cash incentives. KOTA KINABALU (June 30): Kota Kinabalu Member of Parliament cum Deputy Minister of Plantation and Commodities, Datuk Chan Foong Hin, has allocated over RM100,000 this year to reward 367 high-achieving students who excelled in the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination. This marks the second consecutive year the Kota Kinabalu Parliamentary Office has hosted the 'Anugerah Kecemerlangan SPM MADANI' awards ceremony, which celebrates academic excellence and encourages students to continue striving for success. The ceremony took place on Saturday at SJKC Chung Hwa Likas. Students who achieved between 6As and 11As received cash awards of RM250 to RM300 each. Among the recipients, 113 students scored 9As or above. Special awards were also presented for Best Male Student, Best Female Student, and Best Performing School. Notably, both the top male and female students were from Tshung Tsin Secondary School: Soh Yim Qin scored 10A+, while Mohammad Arif Mohammad Adam achieved 9A+ and 1A. He reaffirmed that quality education is a right for every student, regardless of race, religion, or socioeconomic status. He also underscored the MADANI Government's commitment to ensuring equal access to education that can truly change lives and uplift communities. 'As Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has emphasized, quality education is the foundation of a MADANI society. We must cultivate a generation that is not only knowledgeable but also morally grounded, in order to build an inclusive and competitive nation,' he said. 'As a member of the MADANI administration, I fully support the Prime Minister's vision. We are committed to ensuring that no student is left behind — whether they come from B40 families, rural areas, or face physical and mental challenges.' Chan also welcomed the MADANI government's policy guaranteeing placement in the matriculation programme for all students who scored 10As and above in the 2024 SPM examination and applied for admission — regardless of race or background. He noted that this policy, introduced last year, reflects the government's commitment to fairness and equal opportunity in education. He added that the Kota Kinabalu Parliamentary Office will continue to work closely with the Sabah Education Department (PPD) and local schools to improve education infrastructure, provide support for at-risk students, and encourage greater involvement from the community and private sector in shaping the future of education. Last year, Chan allocated RM55,000 to reward 205 students in Kota Kinabalu who achieved excellent results in the 2023 SPM examination.
