Nearly raped at her college
KUALA LUMPUR: An 18-year-old Tunku Abdul Rahman College (Ktar) student has alleged that she was almost raped by the person who was supposed to protect her – a security guard.
The victim, who is from Jinjang, claimed at a press conference organised by Federal Territory Gerakan division here yesterday that the guard grabbed a rock and hit her on the head at least 20 times and then dragged her to a slope near the lecture hall last Saturday.

Bruised: The victim claims the guard undressed her after she fell to the ground. |
“Near the exit, someone hit my head with a rock. When I turned around to defend myself, I saw that it was the security guard,” the girl said.
She said she tried to fight back but was overpowered by the guard who dragged her behind a lecture hall.
“He continued to hit me with the stone until I fell to the ground. He then started undressing me.
“After that he unzipped his pants and tried to rape me.
“I managed to push him away and ran for my life.”
Another security guard approached her and took the injured girl to the toilet to clean her wounds. She said the security guard then captured the suspect.
The girl said she called her parents who then took her to the Wangsa Maju police station where she lodged a report.
“I don’t want this to happen to anyone else especially my college mates. If I had brought an umbrella along, I would have used the front entrance and would have avoided him. Please carry a pepper spray, an umbrella or something for protection,” she said, explaining why she was relating her horrifying experience.
The victim’s father said he was unhappy that college officials had yet to visit his daughter. He said the college owed them an explanation.
“This is a very serious crime and my daughter could have been killed.”
In a statement, KTAR said that it had terminated the services of the security company that the suspect worked for and that it regretted what had happened to the victim.
“We will provide help and counselling to the student and her family,” it said.
City CID chief Senior Asst Comm II Ahmad Ibrahim said police are still investigating.
