Rais’ former maid denies rape story
PUTRAJAYA: The Indonesian maid, said to be the rape victim of Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim, has denied the allegation.
An online news portal in Jakarta reported that the maid denied that Rais raped her in the eight years she served with him.
Detik.com reported that the woman denied the allegations in a statement to four officials from the Indonesian Workers Protection and Placement Centre (BP3TKI) in Semarang.
Earlier, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak urged the people not to pre-judge the allegations of rape made against Dr Rais, who is Information, Communication and Culture Minister.
Najib said everyone should let the due process take its course because Rais had expressed his willingness to be investigated.
“We cannot pre-judge and pronounce anything,” he told reporters.
