Combat the evil of incest seriously

IN November last year, a 50-year-old lorry driver from Johor who sexually assaulted his daughter for four years since she was 11 years old was sentenced to 81 years’ jail and eight strokes of the rotan. The victim’s uncle also pleaded guilty to molesting her and was jailed five years.

Before this, on Aug 15, a mechanic from Kuala Lumpur was sentenced to 26 years’ jail and six strokes of the rotan for incest with his 14-year-old stepdaughter.
