KUALA LUMPUR: Former Malacca Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik said allegations of statutory rape as stated in posters and a book published by the DAP were serious because they had damaging implications on him as a father, husband, politician and a Muslim, the High Court heard yesterday.
Abdul Rahim, 52, who is currently the executive chairman of Artac Holdings Sdn Bhd, said the words as a whole in the posters and in the book Lim Guan Eng – MP in Jail Second Edition: Malaysian Dream from Kajang Prison could be understood that he had committed the offence of statutory rape.
