WHY?!! Malaysian charged with committing incest with nieceBUTTERWORTH: A 36-year-old jobless man claimed trial at the Sessions Court here to committing incest with his 15-year-old niece at a guest house near here on Christmas Day. The man, whose name was not revealed to protect the identity of his niece, was charged with committing the offence which is said to have taken place at a guest house in Perkampungan Berapit between 2am and 4am on Dec 25, 2017. The accused was charged under Section 376B of the Penal Code for incest, which carries a jail term of 10 to 30 years and whipping upon conviction. Under Section 376B, a person is said to have committed incest if he has sexual intercourse with another person whose relationship to him is such that he is not permitted to marry her under the law, religion or custom. Sessions judge Noor Aini Yusof denied bail and fixed Feb 6 for mention pending a medical report. DPP Roslina Idris prosecuted while the accused was unrepresented. According to initial police investigations, the girl had followed her uncle to the guest house after he allegedly told her that her father had been arrested by the police on Christmas Eve. Central Seberang Prai OCPD Asst Comm Nik Ros Azhan Nik Abdul Hamid said the man then gave her a soft drink and allegedly raped her. http://www.asiaone.com/malaysia/malaysian-charged-committing-incest-niece

Interesting to note that "committing mischief", in this case, secretly sabotaging a vehicle, will also attract a jail term. Strong evidence in this case... captured on video camera. But still very interesting that it was actively pursued until the offender was sentenced. I thought most cases of "mischief", even fights, will only be classified as a civil case or dispute, and advised to "settle on your own". http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1235814/1/.html Former security guard jailed for committing mischief By Claire Huang | Posted: 07 November 2012 1701 hrs SINGAPORE: A former security guard who wanted to teach his ex-colleague a lesson after an argument, was sentenced to eight weeks' jail, disqualified from driving for three years and fined S$1,000 on Wednesday. Ayathan Kuninankandy Sunil Kumar, 40, had admitted to committing mischief by cutting the brake hose of Mr Gabriel Baldwin's motorcycle on April 9 this year at about 4.36am. The cameras at Nassim Park Residence, where 35-year-old Mr Baldwin worked, captured Ayathan's act. Mr Baldwin discovered the tampered brakes after his shift ended and made a police report. Besides this, Ayathan also admitted to one count of speeding on July 17 this year close to 8.30am, along Lornie Road. Court documents stated he had ridden a motorcycle when he was disqualified from driving for a year. He was disqualified from driving from January 18, 2012 to January 1, 2013. To avoid detection by authorities, Ayathan would submit his elder brother's particulars whenever he received summons for speeding. For committing mischief, he could have been jailed up to a year and fined. The maximum penalty for driving without a licence is a three-year jail term and a fine of S$10,000. For furnishing misleading information to the authorities, he could have been jailed up to six months and fined up to S$1,000. - CNA/fa
