My friend in KL took the trouble to forward to me the following news:
BATU GAJAH, Dec 17 — The police have detained 15 people, including several teenagers, in connection with four rape cases involving schoolgirls here.
The suspects were picked up in separate operations here yesterday, and remanded until Monday to facilitate investigations.
District police chief ACP Najib Mohamad said today that four 15-year-old schoolgirls were allegedly gang-raped on Dec 4, 7, 8 and 12.
On Dec 4, the victim was allegedly raped by five men at a house in Kampung Ara Payung here.
“The five were also alleged to have raped the second victim near a lake in Kampung Pisang, three days later,” said Najib, adding that the third girl was raped by 10 men at a house in Kampung Bendera.
The last victim faced a similar fate at a house in Tanjung Tualang.
The police chief said two other suspects were at large. — Bernama
One of the reasons which I have mentioned about residents' objection to the new train station (btw, in Kg. Pisang) is security risk, when passengers (especially lone woman or girl) disembark at night at the 'middle of nowhere' location. Of course, initially very likely there are other passengers, but soon after, all those with prior transport arrangements would have left, and anyone who is caught unaware, without handphone or handphone with low battery level, or the person who is supposed to come did not turn up for one reason or other... will be left to fate. Do we need to have a criminal offence committed or tragedy happened before we decide on a solution to the problem?
