MALACCA: A man had to storm into a house and put up a fight with two men to rescue his 13-year-old daughter from prostitution.He received a phone call from a woman, believed to be the landlady, who informed him that she had seen two men bringing in other men to the house where the girl was.
He then stormed into the house and found two men inside in the house. The two tried to stop him from rescuing his daughter.
He shouted at the top of his voice when the two men tried to assault him and neighbours came to help him to get his daughter away from there.
Now, with the girl under the care of the Welfare Department, all the father now wants is for his daughter to know how much he loved her and to explain to her why he did what he did.
“I also want to ask her why she got involved with drugs. I told her so many times in the past not to mix with bad hats,” he said in a choking voice yesterday, adding that he had been unable to sleep ever since the incident.
“I can’t believe this is happening. I am still very traumatised.”
“My girl said that she was also into drugs and received RM20 per sex session from her boyfriend, who also brought her to hotels,” he added.
“I broke down when I saw my daughter and also felt embarrassed when I was told by one of the neighbours that she was among several teenagers involved in prostitution in the area.”
Asked about how his wife was handling the situation, he simply said she was “very disappointed” and refused to talk about what she was going through.
The father said the incident on July 26 was the third time the girl had run away from home.
“My heart sank when I received a tip-off from an anonymous person that my daughter was soliciting for clients at a house in Taman Peringgit. She is my favourite. I love her so much that I never raised my voice or hand when she was mischievous,” he added.
The 46-year-old father of four said his daughter excelled in her studies until she joined the wrong company after her UPSR examinations adding that she was also good in sports and had won several tournaments.
The businessmansaid he would never forgive those who prostituted his “darling daughter”, who had run away from home for the first time with her 26-year-old boyfriend in October last year after he had held a dinner to celebrate when she scored 3As in the UPSR.
Police managed to track her down after he lodged a report and a medical examination revealed that she had been raped.
She ran away again with her boyfriend within hours of being found. This time, the couple went to Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.
The family went looking for her again and the father accessed her Facebook account and found out that the daughter’s boyfriend had posted on his account that sexual services were being offered – with his daughter’s details.
He added that he managed to get his daughter back with some friends although the boyfriend managed to escape.
She ran away for the third time in June – and then came the call from the landlady.
Meanwhile, Malacca police have launched a manhunt for a 26-year-old man, who purportedly pimped the girl to nine men.
Malacca police chief Senior Deputy Commissioner Datuk Chuah Ghee Lye said a 36-year-old client has also been charged under Section 376 of the Penal Code on Aug 2 for allegedly having sex with the girl adding that they were hunting for the remaining eight men.
