Man charged with raping ex-sister-in-law
The 31-year-old claimed trial before Sessions Court judge Siti Shakirah Mohtarudin.
He is accused of raping the 31-year-old victim at her house in Bandar Bukit Jalil around 3.30am on Jan 22, 2023.
The charge, framed under Section 376 of the Penal Code, carries a maximum 20-year jail term and whipping, upon conviction.
Police investigations revealed that the accused fled after the victim lodged a report two years ago.
However, his luck ran out when he was arrested in a separate case involving a drug offence.
Further checks showed he was wanted for the alleged rape.
He was earlier charged in the magistrate's court over the drug-related case.
Deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Zul Hilmi Latif did not offer bail as the offence is non-bailable.
"But if the court wants to use its discretion to allow bail under Section 388 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the prosecution asks for a high bail to be imposed.
"The accused must also be ordered to report to the police station monthly and not harass the victim," he said.
The accused, who was not represented, was asked by the judge whether he understood the charge and if there was anyone who would post bail.
"I understand. No one is here to bail me," he said.
Siti Shakirah did not grant bail and set Aug 26 for document submission and appointment of a lawyer.

[Watch] Penang Burglar's Epic Fail: Casually Strolls Past Confronting Homeowner, Bolts At Back Door, Then Returns For Forgotten Loot
Subscribe to our FREE A would-be burglar in Penang delivered a masterclass in criminal incompetence this week, first brazenly walking past a confronting homeowner like he owned the place, then sealing his own doom by returning to the crime scene for whatever he'd left behind. The suspect's audacious break-in at a Batu Maung residence started promisingly enough – slipping through the back door while the domestic helper was outside taking out trash. But when the homeowner spotted the intruder, what happened next was pure criminal comedy gold. According to Southwest District Police Chief ACP Sazalee Adam, the burglar didn't immediately panic when confronted. Instead, he had the sheer nerve to casually stroll toward the exit as the homeowner questioned his presence, maintaining his composure like some sort of discount Hollywood heist film character from It was only when he reached the back door that reality kicked in, and he suddenly bolted into the night. The whole surreal encounter was captured in a 25-second viral video showing the suspect nonchalantly descending the stairs while the homeowner – reportedly a TikTok influencer known as 'Choii' – demanded to know what he was doing in the house. From Burglar to Reluctant Entertainment But here's where criminal stupidity reached peak levels: instead of celebrating his narrow escape, our genius decided to double back for whatever treasure he'd forgotten in his hasty retreat. That's when the homeowner and friends were ready and waiting, turning the tables on the would-be thief and holding him until police patrol units from Zone 3 Batu Maung arrived. The defeated burglar even managed to give an impromptu 'interview' to the homeowner while sitting on their sofa, presumably while awaiting his police escort – because nothing caps off a failed heist quite like a casual chat with your victim. In what can only be described as the most bizarre criminal surrender ever, the suspect was also asked to show off some dance moves, which he obliged. The caught burglar even advised viewers not to follow his mistakes, delivering what might be the most authentic public service announcement ever recorded. The Chemical Explanation Drug screening revealed the suspect tested positive for methamphetamine, amphetamine, and benzodiazepine – a chemical cocktail that might explain both his initial Police records show previous drug-related offences, because naturally. The suspect faces charges under Section 448 of the Penal Code at the Balik Pulau Magistrate's Court today (5 August), carrying a maximum penalty of three years in prison or a fine of RM5,000 if convicted. In the hall of fame for 'boldest criminal moves that backfired spectacularly,' casually walking past your victim before panicking at the exit, then returning for seconds, has got to be a top contender. Sometimes, the best security system is simply a combination of criminal overconfidence and poor judgment calls. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

Man gets 22 years' jail, 9 strokes of rotan for raping another niece
The convict pleaded guilty in the Ayer Keroh sessions court to four counts each of rape, sodomy and sexual penetration with an object, as well as five counts of physical sexual assault. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : A 31-year-old man serving time for raping his niece has been sentenced to a further 22 years in prison and nine strokes of the rotan after pleading guilty to 17 charges involving an older niece of his. The convict pleaded guilty in the Ayer Keroh sessions court to four counts each of rape, sodomy and sexual penetration with an object, as well as five counts of physical sexual assault. He was charged with committing the offences when the victim was 12 at a house in Kampung Tanah Merah, Krubong, between November 2022 and July 2023, Harian Metro reported. He was altogether sentenced to 166 years in jail, including 22 years on each rape charge, and nine strokes of the rotan for the offences. Judge Rohatul Akmar Abdullah ordered the prison sentences to run concurrently from the date of his arrest on Aug 18, 2023, but for the whipping to be administered consecutively. Rohatul also ordered him to undergo mandatory counselling and to be placed under police supervision for three years after his release from prison. On July 7, the sessions court sentenced the same man to 15 years in prison and six strokes of the rotan on four charges of rape and one of sexual assault against another niece, the younger sister of the victim in today's case.
