IPOH: The maid allegedly raped by a former Perak executive council member sounded distraught when she made a call to the Indonesian Embassy, an indication that she was not coached on what to say, the High Court was told.

This was recounted by Riki Sapari, an employee attached to the embassy’s labour division’s complaints section, who was one of two people who testified in yesterday’s hearing of Tronoh assemblyman Paul Yong, who is accused of raping his maid in 2019.
