| Malaysian court lenient to sex offenders?! Posted: 29 Aug 2012 09:31 AM PDT Another rapist's 'future' saves him from jail August 29, 2012 KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 ― A man convicted of raping his 12-year-old girlfriend has eluded incarceration, the second recent case of statutory rape that has ended with the perpetrator walking free, The Star reported on its website today. According to the report, 22-year-old Chuah Guan Jiu was released on a three-year, RM25,000 good behaviour bond by the Sessions Court in George Town, Penang. "We also considered the fact that the sexual act was consensual and that he is a school dropout," judge Sitarun Nisa Abdul Aziz was quoted as saying by The Star. Sitarun expanded on her decision by saying she also took in account that this was Chuah's first offence. She further said she was considering his future. Previously, prosecutors described how Chuah had played sick in order to get the victim into playing truant and lure her into attending to him at his home. "They were dating and the accused should have protected her but he took advantage of her instead," DPP Lim Cheah Yit had told the court on Monday, in an effort to secure a harsh sentence for Chuah. On July 20, the Session Court had found Chuah guilty of two counts of statutory rape, which took place in Air Itam on July 18 last year. Chuah's conviction meant he was liable for up to 20 years' imprisonment and whipping for each count, as allowed under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code. The decision is likely to further stoke existing public outrage following the case of national bowler Noor Afizal Azizan — convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl — who was let off from serving jail time after a Court of Appeal decision reversed an earlier High Court ruling and bound him over for good behaviour. In explaining its decision, the appellate court reasoned that a lengthy jail sentence would have been imposed on national bowler Noor Afizal Azizan for the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl when he was 19 if he had been older or had used force, coercion or violence. The court said, however, that its decision should not be considered a precedent for all future cases involving statutory rape and should be judged on its own merit  |
| AIR LEBIH DI KLANG......Bersedia musim bah Posted: 29 Aug 2012 08:47 AM PDT MPK : Penduduk Klang Harus Siap Sedia Banjir– August 29, 2012Posted in: Berita, Berita Nasional, Dasar Kerajaan Selangor, Fokus Rakyat, Infrastruktur, Inisiatif Kerajaan Selangor, Kebajikan Rakyat, Kecekapan, Kerajaan Selangor, Maklumbalas Rakyat, Menyelesaikan Masalah Rakyat, Pembaikpulihan, Pencapaian & Prinsip Tadbirurus, Perkhidmatan Kepada Rakyat, Politik & Berita Nasional, Syarikat Kerajaan, Tayangan, Terkini, Wakil & Institusi Kerajaan 95 views   KLANG 29 OGOS : Penduduk sekitar Klang khususnya kawasan tepi sungai dan yang pernah banjir harus bersiap sedia terhadap kemungkinan berlaku banjir lagi minggu ini. Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) memberi amaran bahawa banjir dijangkakan boleh berlaku dari 31 Ogos hingga 5 September depan berdasarkan laporan kaji cuaca. Pemangku Yang Dipertua MPK, Mohd Ihsan Mukri berkata taburan hujan lebat sepanjang tempoh itu boleh menyebabkan banjir besar seperti 20 Mac lalu. "Mengikut laporan itu juga, paras air sungai dan laut meningkat ke paras 5.3 meter. Jika dilihat masa kini paras air sudah mencecah 4.8 meter," katanya selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat bulanan MPK, di sini. Bagaimanapun, pihak MPK dan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) negeri sudah bersiap sedia dalam menghadapi kemungkinan itu. "Pihak kami sudah siapkan tenaga kerja 24 jam, logistik dan sebagainya. Orang ramai boleh menghubungi talian bebas tol kami di 1800-88-23-826," katanya. Beliau turut meminta kerjasama dari penduduk supaya membersihkan saliran longkang di rumah supaya tidak tersumbat. Dalam perkembangan lain, beliau berkata kerja-kerja menaiktaraf dan menyelengara sistem saliran, mendalamkan dan meluaskan tiga sungai di Klang akan bermula akhir September depan dan dijangka siap awal tahun depan. Ia sebagai langkah mengawal bencana banjir dan kos keseluruhan projek terbabit meliputi RM 5.2 juta yang diperuntukkan oleh Kerajaan Negeri. Tiga sungai itu melibatkan Sungai Aur, Sungai Sireh dan Sungai Pileh yang kini semakin sempit dan cetek serta tidak mampu menampung limpahan air ketika hujan lebat. Beliau berkata MPK juga akan membina kolam tadahan di Bayu Perdana agar dapat mengatasi masalah banjir di kawasan itu.  |
