11-year-old girl molested in Kajang

KUALA LUMPUR: Police are hunting for a Myanmar national after he had allegedly molested an 11-year-old girl in Kajang, Selangor yesterday.

The incident happened about 10.15am when the victim went to a grocery shop in Sungai Sekamat to buy eggs.

Kajang police chief Assistant Commissioner Ab Rashid Ab Wahab said the victim's mother had sent her to buy five eggs, but she returned home shortly after, saying that the shopkeeper had told her that the money was not enough.

"The mother then told her to return to the shop and ask why, as the money was more than enough.

"When the victim arrived for the second time, the shopkeeper grabbed the girl and started kissing her, while his hand groped her private part," Ab Rashid told reporters earlier today.

The victim managed to escape and ran back to her house and told her mother about the incident.

Ab Rashid said police went to the shop immediately after receiving a report, but the suspect had ran away.

The case is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code.

On another case, Ab Rashid said police are looking for a road-bully suspect who smashed a government vehicle's side-mirror using a steering lock yesterday.

The incident happened about 5.45pm at Jalan Reko in Kajang when the suspect, who drove a Perodua MyVi, suddenly overtook and blocked a Toyota Hilux belonging to Hulu Langat Health Office.

"The MyVi driver, who was holding a steering lock, exited his vehicle and started hurling abusive words towards the 23-year-old driver.

"The victim did not exit his vehicle, and just sat inside the Hilux before the suspect started smashing the driver's side side-mirror."

He said the victim, who was scared, then sped-off and headed to the Kajang police station where he lodged a report.

The victim told police that the suspect might have been enraged after he accidentally passed by the latter's vehicle in close proximity at a nearby junction.

He said police have identified the suspect based on his vehicle's registration number.

However, when police went to his house address as stated in the vehicle registration system, the suspect no longer live there.

The case is being investigated under Section 506 and 427 of the Penal Code for causing damage to the amount of twenty-five ringgit and criminal intimidation.
