PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal wants steps to be taken to add to the definition of rape.  

Justice Abdul Wahab Patail, who chaired a three-man panel, said this in light of the court's decision on May 7 to allow 60-year-old Bunya Jalong's appeal against a Sessions court judgment to convict him of four rape charges against a minor, reasoning that it was unsafe to convict him of the charges.
