For chewy, hand-pulled ‘pan mee’ in an umami bomb of a sauce, head to Kung Fu Smooth Pan Mee in Taman Sri SentosaOn March 1 last year, the Court of Appeal, in a split decision, dismissed Paul Yong ’s appeal and upheld his conviction for raping his 23-year-old Indonesian maid in a room at his house in Ipoh, between 8.15pm and 9.15pm on July 7, 2019. The appellate court three-judge panel, however, reduced Yong’s prison sentence from 13 years to eight years, along with two strokes of the cane.
“However, she confessed to me that she had made a false statement against Yong and wanted to retract it. She explained that her reason for making the false accusation was to return to Indonesia,” he added. In the statutory declaration presented to the court, the victim stated that she regretted and apologised for her statement against Yong in the Malaysian court, as it was not true.
Pathurrahman, who has been practising law since 1993, confirmed that the letter was notarised and the contents were valid. Muhamad Zaki then suggested that the letter may have been fabricated, questioning how the maid could remember details such as dates and the employer’s address so clearly, considering the incident occurred in 2019 and the trial concluded two years ago.Muhammad Zaki was assisted by Liyana Zawani Mohd Radzi, Nasrul Hadi Abdul Ghani, and Qurratu’äini Khalifah, while Yong was represented by lawyers Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, Datuk Rajpal Singh, and Salim Bashir.
