IPOH: The prosecution in the maid rape case involving Tronoh state assemblyman Paul Yong told the High Court here today that it will make an application for two witnesses to testify under the Witness Protection Act 2009.

“We want the two witnesses to give their statements in accordance with Section 265 of the Criminal Procedure Code so that their identities and statements will not be disclosed and only need to be submitted to the court. Jamil said that by identity, it not only meant the background, information or location of the witnesses but also includes anything that could lead to the disclosure of their identities, such as facial recognition of the witnesses.

He said the two protected witnesses are the 24-year-old complainant and another who has received death threats.
