A FOUR-YEAR-OLD girl in Kajang was allegedly molested by her father who only came home once a month due to his work outstation, reported China Press.

The shocking incident came to light after her mother noticed the girl touching her private parts. When asked, the girl said her father had been “playing with her like that”, much to the outrage of her 35-year-old mother, who lodged a police report on Monday.

Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Rashid Abdul Wahab said the mother, who worked as a sales manager, later brought the girl to the hospital for an examination, which confirmed injuries to her private parts.

The couple also has a two-year-old daughter.

> The daily also reported that a 51-year-old jobless man in Cheras assaulted his 74-year-old mother for not buying him dinner.

The man, who would stay home all day, relied on his mother to buy him meals.

However, when she came home on Sunday, she had told her son that she was “too tired and did not want to go out”, which prompted the man to hit her on the head with a water ladle.

This was reportedly not the first time the man had hit his mother. He was also said to often hit his younger sister, who is in her 30s.

The man has since been arrested.

> Kwong Wah Yit Poh reported that a 14-year-old orphan from Guangxi, China, who had been given the opportunity to pursue his education, was forced to return home after his plight caught the attention of the nation.

Guangxi officials had gone with a school principal and a relative of Yang Liu Jin to Shenzhen to take the boy back, claiming that he needed to settle matters over the donations he received.

Yang had been feeding on wild plants and catching his own fish in the woods since he was 10 after his father passed away and his mother remarried.

He was only given an allowance of 10 yuan (RM5) each week by a male cousin.

Yang’s plight was highlighted in a local television channel last month, which attracted the attention of the Cambridge International Institute in Shenzhen.

The institute decided to provide him with food and shelter, while others donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to him.
