MELAKA - A decade-long ordeal of a teenage girl, who was sexually abused by her father, came to light after she confided in her mother last Saturday.
The victim, now 18 and employed as a salesperson, was allegedly raped by her father, a mechanic, since she was eight years old.
Sources revealed that the victim, the eldest of six siblings, was forced to keep the abuse a secret due to her father's threats of violence against her and her siblings.
The abuse came to light after the victim's mother confronted her husband about his failure to provide financial support for the family, prompting her to leave the home with the victim's five younger siblings.
It was then that the victim found the courage to reveal the secret she had kept for years.
"When the mother asked the victim to stay with her father after the separation, the victim refused and broke down in tears, recounting how she had been subjected to her father's sexual abuse for a decade since she was eight years old," the source said.
The victim disclosed that the most recent incident occurred around 9pm last week at their home, while her mother was packing to leave with her younger siblings.
Following this revelation, the mother took all six of her children to Kuala Lumpur, where they temporarily stayed with relatives before lodging a police report on Sunday.
The mother also alleged that her husband frequently beat the children, causing serious injuries, but she had not reported it earlier due to his threats.

"The suspect was remanded for seven days from Tuesday to Monday for investigations under Section 376B of the Penal Code," he said.

'Papa told us never miss our prayers,' says son of fallen policeman
SETIU: The body of Corporal Mohd Hafizul Izham Mazlan, 35, who was killed after being rammed by a vehicle driven by criminals fleeing a house burglary in Kedah, was laid to rest this morning. The father of three was buried at the Putera Jaya Islamic Cemetery in Pak Kancil, near here, at 10.30am. A funeral prayer for the late policeman was held earlier at Masjid Putera Jaya at 9.17am. The burial was conducted with full police honours, with Terengganu police chief Datuk Mohd Khairi Khairudin presenting the Sang Saka Biru police flag to Hafizul's father, Mazlan Umar, 64. More than 300 people, including family and friends, attended to pay their last respects. The officer leaves behind his wife, Nur Azhanis Mohd Yusoff, 36, and three sons: Muhammad Akif Naufal, 11, Muhammad Amar Nazran, 9, and Muhammad Afiq Nazim, 4. His eldest son, Akif Naufal, said his father often reminded him to perform his prayers. "Papa managed to pick me up from school and send me home at 1.15pm yesterday. After that, my brother Muhammad Amar Nazran and I went to Aman Central shopping mall with a friend's mum," he said. He said that while at the mall, a police officer came to collect him and his brother and took them to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital (HSB) in Alor Setar. "At the time, I thought it was one of Papa's friends who had passed away, because we were told that Papa had asked someone to fetch us from Aman Central. "But when we got to the hospital and I saw Mama (Nur Azhanis) crying, that's when I realised Papa had died," he said. Earlier, it was reported that a policeman was killed after being rammed by fleeing criminals at Taman Golf, in Alor Star, yesterday. Four burglary suspects have been arrested. The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, and Section 457 of the same Act for housebreaking.
