PETALING JAYA: A taxi driver claimed trial at the Sessions Court to attempting to commit incest with his 13-year-old daughter.
The 46-year-old father of five, also pleaded not guilty to using criminal force against his eldest daughter with the intention of outraging her modesty. The offences were committed at his house at 1.30am on March 16. Deputy public prosecutor Norliana Ismail proposed bail at RM10,000. However Judge Nurmala Salim allowed bail of RM7,000 for both charges with one surety.

About Shelter (Advocacy & Awareness)
- Shelter (Advocacy & Awareness)
- is the natural extension of Shelter Home for Children's (a registered welfare organisation which was started in 1981) mission to aid abused, abandoned or neglected children through our homes and services. As such, Shelter (Advocacy & Awareness) was started in April 2007 to be a stronger voice for children in Malaysia who have been abused or violated.
Purpose/objectives of the news tracker
Daniel Schorr of CBS News says, "All news is an exaggeration of life." But, life should not be a casual dismissal and forgetting of the many instances of abuse and violation of our children.
Shelter News Tracker is then an attempt to record and track the many reports and court cases of abuse that is reported daily in our Malaysian online newspapers. In this way, Shelter (Advocacy & Awareness) hopes to be a voice and a record for the innocents in our society.
After all, a Chinese proverb says, "Good news about someone never gets past the door, but bad news will travel a thousand leagues away."

His name is Today
We are guilty of many errors and many faults
but our worst crime
is abandoning the children,
neglecting the fountain of life.
Many of the things we need can wait.
The child cannot.
Right now is the time
his bones are being formed,
his blood is being made,
and his senses are being developed.
To him we cannot answer
'Tomorrow.'
His name is 'Today.'”
Gabriela Mistral (Chilean poet, 1889-1957)
