The defence in the rape case of an Indonesian maid involving Perak Exco Paul Yong Choo Kiong is applying for the case to be transferred from the Sessions’ Court to the High Court.
"We will wait for a date set by the High Court to hear our application," he told reporters after the proceeding of the case here today. "We objected strongly, and today, the judge was supposed to make a ruling whether the two witnesses could testify under the act or otherwise. However due to various issues raised, which I am not at liberty to reveal, then decided to file the motion,” he said.
“There is no interest for the case to be heard at the High Court. The case is under Section 376 of the Penal Code, which is a rape case is under the jurisdiction of the Sessions’ Court for all witnesses to testify,” he said.
