On Wednesday, the 2nd of February, a food stall operator was sentenced to 20 years in jail and is to be whipped 10 times for each incident where he raped his under-aged daughter.
This 47-year-old man admits to the 4 incidents of raping his daughter thus resulting to a 80 year imprisonment and 40 lashes of the whip.
In this case, the victim was the fifth child of nine siblings and has stopped schooling after completing her Form 2. Since then she has stayed home with her family.
The first incident happened in early November last year, the man entered the room after his wife and daughter had finished cleaning the bedroom and closed the door. He then raped his 15-year-old daughter in front of his wife at about 4pm.
In mid-November, the man ordered his daughter to touch his private part while she was watching the television with her mother at 10pm. He then raped his daughter again in front of his wife.
At the end of December, the man forced his daughter and his wife to fondle him and kiss his body before raping her once again.
On January 23 this year, the man raped his daughter when his wife was not around.
In all incidents excluding the latest one, his wife was powerless to stop him from raping his daughter.
3 days later, the man told his wife that he wanted to rape the girl again and asked her to bring the daughter to him at 9pm. But the wife asked the help of a neighbor to lodge a police report over the matter.
Honestly, I am very disgusted and sad over the issue. I'm disgusted that a man can actually rape his own daughter in front of his own wife. And do it over and over again. To rape is bad enough, it is already inhumane, but to rape your own daughter, it's evil, demonic.
I'm also sad because many cases similar to this are happening in Malaysia and around the world. Yet, because we've seen it time and time again, we've become so numb to the matter, not seeing it as an issue world getting worked up over.
These people might only be one person in this world, but to one person, they might be their whole world. So let us play our part to stop this vandalism of society, this destruction of humanity.
