A public university lecturer allegedly raped one of his engineering students and was threatened with expulsion if she told anyone about it. The 26-year-old student from Bandar Tasik Selatan was also allegedly offered to be his third wife.

Late last year, the student had met the lecturer at his office where she handed in her last assignment. After he had gone through her work, he locked his office door and proceeded to hug and kiss the student. Then, he laid a sleeping bag on the floor and gagged the student while forcing her onto the floor.

After raping her, the lecturer warned the student not to tell anyone about the incident or he would expel her from the university. In addition to this incident, the lecturer allegedly molested and raped her on two other occasions.

The student had lodged a police report a week after the latest incident. Selangor police said the lecturer will be brought in for investigations after his overseas trip.

A 26-year-old police constable allegedly extorted money from a woman who had asked if she could see her son who was locked up at the Hulu Kelang police station.

56-year-old Leong May Lee had tried to contact her son, 27-year-old Wong Zhi Zhong, who was arrested on Monday for allegedly possessing drug substances. Leong was informed of her son’s condition when he called her on Tuesday. It was believed that the constable was later paid RM250 by Leong for that phone call.
