An ethnic Malay widow who worked as a night-time driver for a ride-hailing
service to earn cash to raise her children was reportedly raped in the
early hours of Sunday morning by an Indonesian passenger who allegedly
planned a sexual attack.

The incident was said to have happened early on April 7 at a remote
location in Cyberjaya in Sepang district, the China Press reported.

The victim was a driver in her 40s. She was said to have got a car-hailing
request at 10.30pm on April 6 from the Indonesian suspect in Dengkil, also
in Sepang district. The man claimed that he needed to pick up his wife at
Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2).

The suspect allegedly made a phone call when the car arrived and claimed
that his wife’s plane had yet to land. So, he asked the woman to drive him
on a route without giving a specific destination.

The female driver found it suspicious, however, before she could react the
suspect threatened her at knifepoint in the car.

She was then dragged onto the back seats, where the man tied her hands
behind her back, and raped.

The suspect took 100 ringgit in cash and the driver’s mobile phone before
leaving her at the spot, and driving her vehicle away, claiming that she
would have to get the car back by foot.

By 6am the victim managed to report the attack to Selangor police, who took
her for an examination at a hospital. Meanwhile, her vehicle was found at a
gas station in Cyberjaya.

Selangor police have completed a sketch of the Indonesian suspect’s face.
The man was said to have a medium build and short hair.

The case is being investigated under Sections 376 and 394 of the Penal Code
for rape and voluntarily causing hurt while committing a robbery.
