Penang cops to further investigate doctor nabbed for molesting four female patients
GEORGE TOWN: Police have been instructed by the Deputy Public Prosecutor's (DPP) office to carry out further investigations on the doctor who was caught for allegedly molesting his female patients four times. Penang deputy police chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said three of the cases were reported in the northeast district while the fourth and the most recent one was in the southwest district. "We submitted the investigation papers for the three original cases reported in the northeast district to the DPP's office. "We recently received instructions from the DPP's office to further investigate the cases," he told reporters at the state police contingent headquarters in George Town, Penang on Thursday (July 24). He said in regard to the fourth case in the southwest district, we have started the investigation. He said it is believed the 43-year-old doctor who was said to be working in a government hospital in the northeast district was transferred to a government clinic in the southwest district. "The recent incident occurred at a private clinic in the southwest district where he was doing locum," he said. It was reported that on Monday (July 21) at 8pm, the doctor was arrested in connection with the alleged sexual harassment of a female patient at a private clinic in Bayan Baru. Balik Pulau OCPD Asst Comm Sazalee Adam said the suspect was arrested after a woman in her 30s lodged a report on July 18, claiming she was molested by the doctor during a medical consultation on June 29. ACP Sazalee said at 11.46am, the victim sought treatment at the clinic for abdominal pain. During the examination, the doctor allegedly instructed her to remove her top and proceeded to touch both her breasts, he said. The case is currently being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code for using criminal force with intent to outrage modesty. It was reported earlier this year that the suspect had been arrested on three separate occasions for similar incidents involving three female victims. The suspect allegedly instructed patients to undress and perform on-the-spot exercises under the guise of further examination. He is also alleged to have recorded images of the victims' bodies using his mobile phone during the sessions.

University student pleads guilty to sexually assaulting his eight-year-old cousin in Sungai Buloh
KLANG, June 19 — A local university student pleaded guilty in the Sessions Court here today to three charges of physical sexual assault against a girl who is his cousin in 2023 and 2025. Based on two charges, the 19-year-old man committed physical sexual assault against an eight-year-old girl on March 2 and 3 this year at a house in Sungai Buloh, Selangor. For the third charge, he was also accused of committing the offence of physical sexual assault against the victim at the same house on September 10, 2023. All the offences were charged under Section 14(a) and 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, and if convicted, the accused can be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 20 years and can be whipped. Previously, Deputy Public Prosecutor Nur 'Ayuni Jamri requested a new date for the preparation of a social report from the Department of Social Welfare (JKM) considering that the accused is a young offender, in addition to being used as case facts and for sentencing. Nur 'Ayuni did not propose any bail due to the accused having a familial relationship with the victim, but suggested RM15,000 if the court allows it, with the additional condition of not disturbing any witnesses. The accused, who was not represented by a lawyer, in his mitigation, requested that the bail amount be reduced because he regretted his actions, was unemployed, and was still being supported by his father. 'This is my first mistake. I realise that I made a mistake. Previously, when I was detained for less than a month, I took that time to reflect on what I had done and repented. 'I am the eldest child and have the responsibility as an older brother to set a good example for my younger siblings. I request a reduction in the bail,' he said. However, Judge Siti Aminah Ghazali set the bail amount at RM8,000 and August 20 as the sentencing date. In a separate case in the same court, a 37-year-old lorry driver was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 20 strokes of the rotan after pleading guilty to raping his daughter last year and on May 17. The court also ordered the defendant to undergo counselling and police supervision for two years after completing the sentence. According to two charges, the lorry driver was accused of raping his biological child on November 10, 2024, and May 17, 2025, when the victim was 10 and 11 years old respectively, in a house in Meru, Klang. The man was charged under Section 376(3) of the Penal Code, which provides for a prison sentence of not more than 30 years and not less than 10 strokes of the rotan, upon conviction. The case was handled by Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurul Jannah Aimi while the accused was not represented by a lawyer. — Bernama
