PETALING JAYA (May 30, 2011): A 26-year-old woman was abducted, robbed and gang raped by three robbers who drove off in her husband's car with her in it at USJ, Subang Jaya early on Sunday.

Wife who nagged about vacation beaten up

A WIFE's nagging about a holiday abroad pushed the husband into a rage and led him to repeatedly hit and kick her, Harian Metro reported.

The assault left her bruised all over her body.

She reported the matter at the Kajang police station soon after the 1am assault on Tuesday.

A police source told the paper a quarrel started between the couple, both 32, after she asked her husband if he had already bought tickets for their vacation during the school semester break.

After about 30 minutes of nagging and argument between the two, the husband became violent and started to beat the woman at their home in Taman Sutera, Kajang.

“The victim pleaded with him to stop as it was not worth fighting over a small matter. The husband ignored her and kept bashing his wife till she could no longer move,” the police source said.

Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Rashid Abdul Wahab confirmed receiving a report on the matter.

Malaysia's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to again face trial on sodomy allegations



MALAYSIA'S High Court has ruled that opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's defence has a case to answer in his sodomy trial, after finding the prosecution's witness "credible".


Mr Anwar is being tried over allegations that the 63-year-old father-of-six sodomised a 25-year-old former aide at an upmarket condominium in June 2008.

"I find a prima facie case... has been made out against the accused," High Court judge Zabidin Mohamed Diah told a packed courtroom.

"Therefore the accused is called to enter his defence."

"I found (prosecution witness Mohamad Saiful Bukhari) to be a credible witness. There is nothing improbable about his evidence. His evidence is reliable," he said.

The judge also found there was evidence that Mr Anwar and Mr Saiful were at the scene of the alleged crime at the time in question and that there was "opportunity for the offence to have taken place".

Sodomy is illegal in Muslim-majority Malaysia, whether or not between consenting adults.

Mr Anwar insists the accusations are part of a long-running government plot to derail his political career, but authorities deny any conspiracy.

Mr Anwar's original 1998 sodomy conviction was later overturned and he was freed after serving six years in jail, becoming an electoral threat to the ruling Barisan Nasional, which has been in power for half a century.

The trial is to resume on June 6, according to court officials.
