Maid recants rape accusation against ex-assemblyman Paul Yong


IPOH: The Indonesian maid, who accused former Tronoh assemblyman Paul Yong Choo Kiong of rape nearly six years ago, said in a statement read by her lawyer in the High Court here that she had made up the accusation so that she could go home before her contract ended.

Pathurrahman SH. MH, 58, an advocate based in Kabupaten Sumbawa of Indonesia said he drafted the statement on May 21, last year, a day after the maid approached him.
