Police have denied shelving their investigation into a foreign worker who allegedly molested a nine-year-old girl at a convenience store in Kajang in February.
Kajang police chief Naazron Abdul Yusof denied the case had been classified as requiring no further action (NFA), saying investigations were ongoing under the Sexual Offences Against Children Act for physical sexual assault on a child.
“Action is being taken to complete our investigations,” he told FMT.
Last Friday, Naazron said the police were seeking witnesses to assist in their investigation into the case.
He said a police report was lodged on March 12 by the victim’s father, claiming his daughter was molested on Feb 27. He said the victim had only revealed the incident to her family on March 11.
Earlier today, Bersatu’s Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal said the child’s father had informed him that the police had classified the child molest case as NFA.
At a press conference in Parliament, the Machang MP also said the father is set to be charged for spreading a video of himself confronting the foreign worker and the owner of the shop he worked at.
He claimed the video clearly showed the foreigner admitting to sexually assaulting the girl.
Wan Fayhsal, a Bersatu Supreme Council member, said the opposition will provide the father with a lawyer to fight his charges in court and to seek justice for his daughter.
When asked if it’s true the father will be charged, Naazron simply said: “Investigations are ongoing.”
