Teacher forced to strip at
knifepoint
SHE was alone in her home and had left the door unlocked.
An intruder entered and allegedly threatened the
26-year-old teacher with a knife.
The man threatened to rape and stab her if she
screamed, The New Straits Times reported.
The incident happened on Tuesday night at her home
in Taman Skudai Baru in Johor Baru, the report said.
The intruder then proceeded to molest the victim
before forcing her to undress.
Fearing for her life, she stripped.
The suspect took a smartphone, a laptop and
RM150(S$60) before fleeing.
The victim, who did not suffer injuries, lodged a
police report.
Johor Baru Utara police chief Assistant
Commissioner of Police Ruslan Hassan said the police have launched
an operation to nab the suspect.
He told The Star: "Initial investigation revealed
that the suspect was believed to have acted alone during the
robbery and molest incident."
12 suspects
"We picked up 12 suspects in their 20s to 30s
during the operation."
ACP Ruslan said that most of the suspects were
detained after they were tested positive for drugs. They had also
been carrying prohibited items such as knives.
He urged the public to be vigilant and to contact
the nearest police station if they saw suspicious strangers in
their area.
Meanwhile, a taxi driver was jailed a total of 22
years and given 10 strokes of the cane after pleading guilty to
robbing four women in January, The Star reported.
Rosli Yusoff, 43, however, will serve only six
years as the jail sentences will run concurrently.
Rosli and an accomplice, Azizi Jaafar, 36, had been
charged with robbing Wan Sharina Ahmad Tewfik Khalidi, 36, of
RM2,000 in the accused's taxi in Selangor.
