Charges Under Section 376 (3) of the Penal Code

The 56-year-old father pleaded guilty to the charges. These specified that he had raped his daughter, who is now 19 years old, at a condominium unit in Taman Midah between October 2, 2021, and June 30. The court sentenced him to 10 years in prison and 10 strokes of the cane for each of the six counts.
Sentencing and Court's Rationale

Judge Mazuliana Abdul Rashid ordered that the prison sentences run consecutively from the date of his arrest on July 23. The prosecution highlighted that the victim was repeatedly raped until she gave birth to a baby girl, with DNA tests confirming the accused as the biological father. The Deputy Public Prosecutor argued for a severe sentence, noting the accused's responsibility as a father and the victim's resulting severe depression.
Previous Accusations and Plea for Leniency

The prosecution also mentioned that the accused had previously faced accusations of molesting the victim's child. The accused, who was unrepresented, appealed for a lighter sentence, citing his 43-year residency in Malaysia.
