GEORGE TOWN: A teenager who was allegedly abducted and raped was rescued by an MCA politician when she sought help at the North-South Expressway’s Slim River rest area.

The 19-year-old girl from Kelantan bumped into Perak MCA party adviser Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan, who drove her to the Slim River police station at about 1pm on Thursday to lodge a report.

When contacted, Ong said he was on his way to Tanjung Malim at the time.

“When I reached the Slim River toll plaza, I saw a blue Proton car with a Malay man who seemed to be arguing with a Chinese girl.

“The girl then opened the door and ran for help. I confronted the man and he claimed that the girl was his girlfriend and she had been sleeping with him.

“I asked the girl if it was true and she burst into tears and said she was threatened into sleeping with him,” he said.

The girl had earlier told her two abductors that she wanted to use the bathroom at the rest area.

The girl’s ordeal began after midnight on Wednesday when two men who claimed to be policemen went to her hotel room in Trang Road here where she was staying with her two sisters and a male friend.

State police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob said the men took her away after claiming the girl was needed to help in an investigation.

However, they drove her to a hotel in Alor Setar where she was raped.

He said they then drove off towards Kuala Lumpur but the girl told them that she needed to use the restroom. When they stopped at the rest area, she ran out and sought help from a Chinese man, who turned out to be Ong.

“One of the culprits, aged 36, immediately went to the same police station to lodge a counter-report, claiming that he did not rape the girl but had paid for her services,” DCP Ayub told a press conference at the state police headquarters yesterday.

He said the man, who had 13 previous criminal records, was arrested with another person at about 3am yesterday at Seri Manjung.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ahmad Najib Aris, the man convicted of the rape and murder of IT analyst Canny Ong Lay Kian (pic) six years ago, has exhausted all his legal avenues to overturn his death sentence.

The Federal Court’s three-man bench yesterday unanimously dismissed his application for a judicial review of its decision to uphold the death sentence in March, this year.

Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Justice Richard Malanjum, who sat with Justices James Foong Cheng Yuen and Heliliah Mohd Yusof, ruled that Ahmad Najib’s application did not meet the pressure of the Rules of the Federal Court 1995 to hear the case.

Ahmad Najib’s counsel, Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla, in his submissions said that there had been a miscarriage of justice on the grounds in the earlier Federal Court ruling when it dismissed his client’s appeal against his death sentence.

He contended that while the Federal Court’s judgment stated that it concurred with the findings in the case of Hanafi Mat Hassan v. Public Prosecutor, it had failed to apply its principle in this case.

Deputy public prosecutor Wong Chiang Kiat, however, argued that there had been no miscarriage of justice and that the application did not meet the threshold to warrant a review.

On Feb 23, 2005, the Shah Alam High Court sentenced Ahmad Najib, a former aircraft cleaning supervisor, to death for the murder and a further 20 years jail for raping Ong.

Ong was abducted from the Bangsar Shopping Centre on the night of June 14, 2003 and three days later, her charred remains were found in a manhole near a highway construction site in Jalan Kelang Lama.

A three-man Court of Appeal on March 5, 2007, affirmed the conviction and sentence.

In March, this year, a five-man Federal Court bench comprising Chief Judge of Malaya Arifin Zakaria and Federal Court Justices Nik Hashim Nik Ab Rahman, S. Augustine Paul, Hashim Yusoff and Zulkefli Ahmad Maki$$nuddin, unanimously held that circumstantial and forensic evidence proved that Ahmad Najib alone was responsible for the murder of the IT analyst.
