members including children. Which hotel / apparment do we prefer to stay?
Cuti-cuti Malaysia answers:
Hi rieza,
sorry for the delay in answering, but better late than never..
Wow, 23 of you? That’s quite a lot and you will be needing quite a few rooms I would imagine.
I’m not really sure what hotel you would prefer. If your budget is quite small then I would
suggest somewhere like:
The Telang Usan
http://www.telangusan.com/kuchinguk.htm
or
The Supreme Hotel
http://www.cuti.com.my/hotel/info.php3?id=1163&hotel=Supreme+Hotel
1/9

2. both for around Rm80 per night (easy to bargain and get cheaper price)
but if money is no object you can pamper yourselves at a 5 star hotel like:
Merdeka Palace
http://www.merdekapalace.com/html/index.htm
or
The Hilton
http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/KUCHITW-Hilton-Kuching-hotel/index.do
both for around Rm300 per night (not so easy to bargain with them)

4. Predators’ crimes and punishment
Abused in a graveyard
While the country was celebrating Christmas on Dec 25, 2006, tree cutter K. Kamalason, 47,
raped a five-year-old child in a Chinese graveyard in Kuantan. He inflicted his young victim with
extremely serious internal injuries to her uterus, intestines and private parts.
Kamalason is married with two children ages two and six and was sentenced 20 years in jail
and 20 strokes of the rotan.
Her stepfather, her rapist
As a stepfather, Zulkarnain Ramle, 40, of Kampung Sourabaya Hulu, Petra Jaya in Sarawak
should have protected and cared for his stepchildren. Instead, Zulkarnain raped his 11-year-old
stepdaughter three years ago when both her mother and elder sister were not at home.
The child told her mother, who lodged a police report and her daughter taken for a medical
examination. Zulkarnain was sentenced to 12 years in jail on Nov 3, 2003.
On her way to work
On Oct 7, 2000, computer engineer Noor Suzaily Mukhtar, 24, boarded a Metro bus from Kuala
Lumpur to her workplace in Klang. It was like any other day during her two-week attachment at
a medical centre in Port Klang.
After the bus driver, Hanafi Mat Hassan, 38, dropped off the last remaining passenger at the
Klang bus stand, he changed routes towards Banting and pulled over at the Bukit Tinggi project
site. Noor Suzaily tried to escape but the doors were locked. The windows were heavily tinted
so she could not draw attention. Hanafi raped her and used her headscarf to strangle her before
tossing her naked body out of the bus. His wife had just given birth three days ago.
Noor Suzaily was dressed in a long skirt and tudung. Yet police said the murderer claimed he
tak tahan (unable to control his lust).
Bomoh dupes teenage dropout
She was 14, has dropped out of school, and living with her parents in Berenang, Kajang. When
she started suffering from unexplainable pains in her legs in July 2000, her father, a retired
soldier, took her to see a trusted family friend who was a bomoh. He told her she would die if
she wasn’t cured of her elephantiasis disease.
He convinced the girl’s father to set aside a room in their house to perform special prayers and
treatments which could only be carried out after midnight to cure her. Over three years, the
bomoh undressed the girl, raped and sodomised her while her parents slept. Before the
“treatments”, the bomoh had forced the girl to spiritually marry him so they could have sex. She
4/9

5. warned the girl not to inform her parents as the treatments must be kept a secret. In July 2003,
the girl broke her silence and lodged a police report.
The bomoh is learnt to have seven wives and was previously acquitted of a charge of
conducting a marriage ceremony contrary to Islamic law at the Lower Syariah court in Malacca.
Bomoh dupes high achiever student
She was 16 and scored 9As in her PMR. Then she started losing interest in her studies in 2002.
Her worried father, a businessman, brought her to a famous bomoh, as he believed his
daughter has been put under a spell.
The bomoh carried out his services in a hotel room. For several weeks, the businessman sent
his daughter to the bomoh and waited in the lobby. By the time, he became suspicious, his
daughter had been raped several times.
The suspect reportedly has treatment centres in Pahang, Johor and other states. Police started
a hunt for the bomoh who has since been on the run.
Consensual sex or statutory rape?
Thor Guan Aik asked the right question to his teenage girlfriend before having sex with her two
years ago in Sungai Nibong, Penang, “How old are you?” She told him she was 16, which was
old enough, so they had sex. She was actually 14 and the case went to court as statutory rape.
On Oct 18, 2005, a Sessions Court freed Thor of the charge, ruling that the couple had
consensual sex. The girl refused to testify in court. The judge also ruled her evidence as
contradictory to the doctor and investigating officers’ testimonies. His release prompted
women’s groups to call for an amendment of the Evidence Act to allow videotaped evidence to
be allowed in cases.
Raped after birthday bash
In August 2004, lorry attendant Jailani Budin, 21, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after
pleading guilty to six charges of raping a Form Three girl after helping to celebrate her 15th
birthday.
Jailani, who had two previous convictions for break-ins, took the girl on his motorcycle to three
locations at different times. Although there was no element of violence, DPP Muhamad Iskandar
Ahmad, pressed for the maximum sentence because he said rape offences were on the rise.
Jailani’s wife was pregnant at the time he committed the offence.
The Nurul Huda Gani case
Jailani being led away by police after he was sentenced at the Sessions Court in Shah Alam.
With her home just 300m from the Tenaga Nasional Berhad sub-station in Kampung Pekajang,
5/9

6. Tanjung Kupang in Galang Patah, Johor Baru, little Nurul Huda Gani had probably passed
security guard Mohd Abbas Danus Baksan, 46, before, on her way to the nearby grocery shop.
On Jan 17, 2004, Mohd Abbas was convicted of dragging Nurul Huda into the station, raping
and then murdering her.
When she didn’t return home, her worried brother and two sisters came looking for her. She
was found in a squatting position inside a toilet at the station.
On Aug 28, 2004, Mohd Abbas was sentenced 20 years’ jail and 24 strokes of the rotan for
raping the child, and sentenced to death for murdering her. He maintained his innocence that
another security guard had been the killer.
The serial rapist
In January 2006, Beh Soon Hock (pic left), 39, lost his appeal against a sentence of 60 years
and 24 strokes of the rotan for five offences of rape, sodomy, robbery and theft.
High Court Justice Abdull Hamid Embong, who rejected Beh’s appeal, said he agreed that the
sentences imposed on him by a lower court were appropriate.
Beh had raped a South Korean woman and sodomised an Irish woman and a 10-year-old
Kuwaiti boy. The unemployed bachelor had 53 previous convictions mostly for theft,
housebreaking and mischief committed between 1985 and 1996.
The pensioner who raped
In August this year, Mat Saad Md Isa, 61, was convicted of raping an eight-year-old in a house
in Sentul in 2001. The judge ordered to serve his 19-and-a-half years’ sentence for rape and
four-and-a-half years’ sentence for an indecent act.
He used a condom
A roti canai seller raped his daughter and paid her RM5 as a “reward” to keep quiet. Court of
Appeal judges unanimously rejected the 49-year-old father’s appeal to reduce his jail term in
June 2008, after the defendant’s lawyer said, in mitigation, that he used a condom each time
he raped the child.
The man was sentenced to 36 years and 20 strokes of the rotan by the Shah Alam Sessions
Court on Aug 20, 2004 after he pleaded to four counts of raping his 11-year-old daughter at
their house between May 2003 and Aug 9, 2004.

It’s heartbreaking…
To sentence them to death would be too easy on them.
Should give them the cane and life imprisonment, preferably let them languish in solitary cell.
That would make them go crazy.
Mary asks…
Do they celebrate Gawai in West Malaysia?
I’ve just booked a 3 week holiday to Malaysia and being a silly old sausage that I am I forgot
about the Gawai festival.
In Sarawak that means for 2 weeks from the 1st of June most towns in Sarawak become
ghost-towns with most people going back to their kampung or going to a hotel/resort (Who
double their prices during holiday seasons)
But I’m not sure if it’s celebrated in West Malaysia or not?
7/9

8. Cuti-cuti Malaysia answers:
Yep, we dont celebrate it here…even those who celebrate it but living in West Msia also wont
celebrate it so grand like what they do in their kampung…and hotels in west msia also wont
double up their prices..

Hey! Will you be coming to my place or not?!…..:-(
hihihihi..just joking!! Ekeke…
Mandy asks…
Three weeks in Malaysia?
I’m spending 3 weeks in Malaysia this coming summer.
The first week I will be in Sarawak and the following 2 weeks I’d like to visit West Malaysia and
maybe Singapore (I’d like to meet some of them Sarong Party Girls that I’ve just heard about,
but unfortunately I’ll be on my honeymoon so cannot)
So my question is where would you recommend visiting for them 2 weeks?
(Just because it’s my honeymoon it doesn’t have to be all lovey dovey hearts and flowers
beautiful scenery 5 star hotels etc etc, somewhere near the jungle would suit me)
PS
I wonder what’s happened to Boss and Sarah? both have been ‘missing in action’ for nearly
one week, maybe they have eloped together?
Myra,
Your resort/hotel looks very nice indeed and I will definitely consider it nearer the time. Is that
