NSTnation Neighbours of abused girl in Penang say she may have suffered a worse fate if not rescued.
on condition of anonymity, said they feared the girl would have suffered an even worse fate had the authorities not been alerted to the abuse in time.
The man said he doubted if the girl was being fed properly, saying that the first thing she uttered when she was rescued was “I am hungry”. “The stepmother only targeted the girl, who is the eldest in the family. Maybe it is because she is not her own flesh and blood.He claimed the couple did not properly look after their eight other children; letting them run freely below the flats in the afternoon without any supervision.“As for the victim, we seldom saw her,” he said.
The matter came to light after Malaysian Tamilar Kural president David Marshel received a call from the girl’s neighbour who alerted them to the incident.
