WikiLeaks is said to have unveiled a series of diplomatic whisper about the minister allegedly having raped his Indonesian maid three years ago.
According to popular blog Rocky's Bru, an international non-governmental organisation had also reported that the alleged rape happened in Kuala Lumpur.
The report, copies of which were sent to the United States and Indonesian embassies here, included an interview with the alleged victim from Central Java.
A copy of the report was also submitted to the Prime Minister's Office then.
The blog stated that the maid, a mother of two, had been employed by the minister, a veteran Umno politician, for eight years.
The NGO's report claimed that her husband knew of the incident but the couple refused to press charges because of fear and shame.
According to the purported WikiLeaks disclosure, Abdullah had decided to keep the matter under wraps because he was worried that the issue could affect Malaysia's dicey ties with its neighbour.
“Although the credibility of the WikiLeaks disclosure could be questioned, if the rape really happened, it would tarnish Malaysia's image and affect bilateral ties.
“I am not talking specifically about this case, but in general, we cannot have two different legal approaches for VIPs and ordinary citizens.
“Whoever is accused must face the due process of law, especially when the said offender is a leader who has been given the mandate and trust by the people,” she told FMT.
Stressing the importance of all being equal before the law, Haniza said this would ensure that influential and prominent individuals were more responsible.
“If the WikiLeaks disclosure is true, then I condemn the crime and urge that legal action be taken against the perpetrator and that the victim be given adequate protection,” she added. By Nazli Ibrahim
'Ministerial rape': Name him and remove
ReplyDelete'If not, the public will speculate on his identity and even innocent ministers will get a bad name. Whatever action to take later should be left to the police.'
Cabinet rape caper signals a nadir
Ruby Star: If a senior minister is being hurled with such a serious heinous crime as raping his own maid who has worked for him for eight years, surely our dear prime minister must act on these allegations. What say you, senior minister? Or are you still on silent mode?
Alan Goh: Can this senior minister emulate the courageous example of Dr Chua Soi Lek and admit that he is the guy who raped the helpless Indonesian maid? The incident took place two years ago under the watch of the fifth prime minister, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, and it was swept under the carpet.
No wonder the fourth PM said that the fifth PM was the worse and most incompetent PM we've ever had. Will the current sixth PM, Najib Abdul Razak, care to comment on the issue, which has been highlighted on the Internet?
Louis: Chua Soi Lek might be a courageous man to some people. But I feel he had no choice. Already the DVD on his tryst was distributed nationwide and even if he denied his act till kingdom come, he will not succeed.
So the best way out was to admit it. I do not admire such a cheat. Had he not admitted his act, I am sure the government would have hushed up the matter, too.
In this case of a minister allegedly raping his maid, there is no chance that Najib will expose him. This is the practice of Umno. Its members have too many scandals, and if really they are exposed, the whole of Umno will collapse.
Titan: If all these allegations are true, it's high time PM Najib burns his bridges with this senior minister. This 'migraine' will not just disappear. It will linger on at the by-election and the 13th general elections.
Sabawak: When this Lim Yew Hock fellow went missing and the papers carried the news here, it made headlines. He was later found registering himself in a hotel as Mr Hawk.
That was a funny story. I remember following it here in Malaysia, there were all kinds of theories, he was kidnaped was one, he drowned at sea was another, but the theory that he was in bed with another woman never caught anybody's imagination. How could it be? He was the Malaysian high commissioner to Australia.
Ahmad: If indeed the news of ministerial rape is true, then the government must name the minister and remove him from the cabinet. If he is not named, then the public is speculating on his identity and in the end, even innocent ministers will get a bad name.
Whatever action to take later should be left to the police. If they have a good case, let them act.
RAIS YATIM you are a sex maniac and worst than an animal. How can you treat your maid like sex slave? What if your wife or daughter be raped by someone? Shame on you as a Malaysian.
