IPOH: The investigating officer in the case of Paul Yong Choo Kiong charged with raping his maid told the High Court here today that investigations indicated that the victim had been raped by Yong, who is state assemblyman for Tronoh.

Asst Supt Yap Siew Cheng of Ipoh district police headquarters said she had conducted a complete investigation from various angles.

“I have investigated and cross-checked all the information provided by the victim with telecommunications companies and the Indonesian Embassy and found all the information matched,” she said during re-examination by Perak prosecution director Azlina Rasdi before Judge Abdul Wahab Mohamed.

Earlier during cross-examination by lawyer Rajpal Singh, for Yong, the witness disagreed with the suggestion that the accused did not rape the victim and that the victim had made up the accusation because she wanted to stop working as a maid and return to Indonesia.

However, Yap agreed with Rajpal’s suggestion that there were two unknown traces of DNA on some of the exhibits which were not from the accused and his family.

She told the court she did not conduct an investigation to find out to whom they belonged.

Yap also said that there was a ‘wait and see’ note in the victim’s diary on July 6, 2019, the day before the alleged rape incident.

She said she had read the victim’s medical examination report from Indonesia dated April 8, 2019, before she began work at Yong’s house in May that year and agreed with the lawyer’s suggestion that there was no specific medical report to confirm the victim’s mental condition at the time of the incident.

Azlina led the prosecution team comprising deputy public prosecutors Liyana Zawani Mohd Radzi and Mohd Fitri Sadarudin.

Yong, 51, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of raping his Indonesian maid at his residence in Meru Desa Park here between 8.15pm and 9.15pm on July 7, 2019.

Yong was first charged in the Sessions Court here on Aug 23, 2019, when he was Perak state executive councillor for housing, local government, public transport, non-Muslim affairs and new villages. - FMT
