Charge sex offenders again, says MCA’s Heng


PETALING JAYA: The principles of double jeopardy should not apply for sex offenders, to keep them away from children and underage girls, says Wanita MCA chief Datuk Heng Seai Kie.

Commenting on what she called outrage and anxiety among Malaysians over the deportation of convicted serial rapist Selva Kumar Subbiah from Canada back to Malaysia, she said Wanita MCA wanted the double jeopardy clause waived for such offenders, especially paedophiles.
