At about 4pm on Aug 13 (2006), a Chinese girl, aged 21, who worked at a gift shop at a shopping centre in the Golden Triangle, was heading out for a late lunch when a man approached her.
The man lured her and forced her into his car, drove the victim to an unknown area in Kajang, and raped her. She was released seven hours later near her house. Throughout the abduction the woman was semi-conscious.
After being raped three weeks ago and just when she is picking up the pieces of her life, the rapist who was yet to be apprehended, vowed to rape her again. She now lives in fear of having to go through the same hell again.
The rapist wrote 2 typed letters sent to the victim's house in Kajang.
In the first letter which she received on Sept 2 (2006), the rapist wrote about the abduction and how he often fantasised about the attack. The rapist boasted about his "sexual prowess" and asked her if she enjoyed having sex with him when he held her for seven hours.
On Sept 5 (2006), the woman received a second letter in which the man told her he was waiting to repeat his act on her. He said he had done the same to another woman prior to her but had killed her as he did not like her. The rapist said he spared her life as he "liked her very much".
The man told her not to bother lodging a police report as he was a "genius" in evading the authorities and "will never be caught".
Yesterday, (Sept 7, 2006), the woman, who was accompanied by her husband, sought the assistance of the MCA public complaints bureau to urge police to nab the man.
In a press conference, her husband said his wife was so traumatised that she had even attempted suicide. He said she was just starting to return to her normal life when the letters were received.
Police today (Sept 8, 2006) advised the 21-year-old rape victim who received two threats from a rapist to lodge another report so that they can facilitate an immediate probe.
Kajang OCPD ACP Mohd Nor Hakim told sun2surf.com that a fresh report had to be lodged by the woman on the two letters that she received from the rapist for them to initiate investigations.
He said the victim only handed over photostat copies of the letters to the district police headquarters when the investigating officer was not in.
"The best thing to do is for her to see me, so that the matter can be probed further," said Mohd Nor.
He was responding to the victim's husband who expressed disappointment that the police failed to take the original letters and chose to keep the photostat copies when they handed in the letters.
QUESTION: The police can't investigate with photostat copies of the letters? Do the police have to wait until the rapist strike her again before they could act? Sometimes it curious to know how our police management system works. Hopefully incoming Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan will resolve the inefficiencies of the system. At times, people who files report with the police station were made to run around from one dept to another, from one station to another, just because the system is so disintegrated and fragmented.

haiya...malaysian police eat shit and money one la... always ask for kopi-O money one...damn useless..
hey dragon city. always talk2 only. why don't you become a police officer yourself and show us example of a good policeman. yes it is okey to critisize, but must be a helpful one maa. you think you are so good at what you are huh?
anonymous; I have no comment on ur comment.... bla..
What they lack is the sense of urgency. The Rakyat is right: Something bad has to happen before they start to act. Obviously by then it will be too late, as far as the first victim is concerned. But early - as it there could be subsequent victims. This is what they have in their minds.
I would not say that every policeman is like that. Of course there are good ones. But really, they are only a handful. They do not take things seriously if there is no govt/public pressure. Sometimes something has to be highlighted in the media first and given a 'high-profile' treatment before they start to act. Of course they would act - can they still keep an eye closed even after all that media hype?
It is such a hassle for ordinary bolehans to be treated like a true Malaysian, Bangsa Malaysia. I wonder if Datuk K had gone through the same hurdles when getting police officers to police his wedding. And the police were saying they do not have enough manpower. I think they do not know how to differentiate what is urgent, important and critical from petty, less important matters.
Try reporting a snatch theft incident and you'll get what I mean.
Dragon City,
I actually agree with you, tho' your words are a bit harsh! I had been to police stations few times to help friends to lodge reports and to help some who had been detained for unreasonable reasons. My experience, wasn't too pleasant as I was often taken to a merry-go-round to see the "right" officer.
I strongly agree that there were some good officers; but there are just too many who are corruptive and bossy. One senior inspector, he came in to the station and I said humbly that I was directed to see him. You know what he did? He said wait, and went and lie down on the sofa to take a nap. I had to wait 1/2hr before he gets into his room and another 15mins before he called me in. Then, after relating the problems to him, he told me that another officer is handling the case. I went to the other officer and was told he wasn't the man-in-charge. This officer then made a call to the relevant dept to find out for me and got me to the right person. All in, I was directed to 5 officers before I got to the Mr. Right.
And don't forget the classic comment 'We will only investigate if a report is lodged".
I wonder if it applied the same if crime happens right under their eyes.
