For incest in Malaysia, stepfathers of victims make up 45% of the total 334 incest cases (149 cases) registered and charged in court nationwide, between last year and June this year.

IT’S a nauseating crime, where victims are violated by their own family.

The bulk of the court cases were in Peninsular Malaysia, which had 310 incest charges, while 24 cases were registered in courts in Sabah and Sarawak from last year to June this year.A recent case involving a stepfather saw the man being sentenced to 1,050 years in jail and 24 strokes of the cane by the Klang Sessions Court after he pleaded guilty to raping his 14-year-old stepdaughter 105 times over a period of two years.

“For this year, we have already received 19 complaints of incest between January and May,” says WAO deputy executive director Yu Ren Chung. Measures are also taken according to the National Guideline on Sexual Offences against Children, produced in 2017, which involves cooperation from multiple agencies including the court.

There are also a few special measures at court that can be arranged beforehand by the deputy public prosecutor, investigation officer, legal companion or watching brief lawyer to ease the impact on children.

1,050 years in jail? Would be easier to just hang the rapist, save tax money for the victims and their rehabilitation.
