"RAPE VICTIM" DENIED BEING RAPED ?????

Maid Denies Being Raped By Minister

JAKARTA, Jan 7 (Bernama) -- An Indonesian woman has vehemently denied that she was raped by Malaysia's Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim when she worked as a domestic helper at the latter's home in Kuala Lumpur for eight years until 2007.
She refuted the allegation to four members of the Semarang branch of the Indonesian Workers Protection and Treatment Centre (BP3TKI) who met her and her husband, reported a news portal, detik.com Friday.
In a written statement signed by her, the 46-year-old woman, asserted that her employer had never made any sexual advances towards her.
"I worked for eight years at Datuk's home. Everything was fine, I had never encountered any problem, especially related to rough treatment and inappropriate behaviour towards me," she said in the statement.
The denial was revealed to detik.com by National Agency for Placement and Protection of Indonesian Workers chairman Jumhur Hidayat.
Jumhur said with the denial, the alleged rape had never occurred.
"The maid has denied the allegation in person and in writing that she was raped and subjected to inappropriate behaviour while working with her employer's family in Malaysia," said Jumhur.
He said the maid had also made the denial to Indonesia's Manpower and Transmigration Minister Muhaimin Iskandar.
"The maid, who returned to her village in Central Java province after leaving Malaysia, is now living in peace and calm in her tranquil village," said Jumhur.
On Wednesday, Rais denied an allegation that he had raped his maid in 2007 as alleged by bloggers and the opposition.
Meanwhile, when reporters met the former maid at her home, she decribed Rais as a good-hearted man and that she never had any problems with him.
"Datuk Rais Yatim is a good man. News reports going around saying I was raped are not true at all. I used to receive money and gifts from him while in his employ," she was quoted as saying by the detik.com news portal.
She also said that during her employment at Rais'home from 1999 till 2007, she was once given one-and-a-half months leave.
She said she worked at his home together with three other maids from Indonesia.
"Usually we divide up our duties. I help in catering whenever a function is held in Datuk's home. Besides this I also open the gate when Datuk comes home," she said.
She added that if Rais was a bad man and had not treated her well, obviously she would not have withstood working that long at his house.
Rais' entire family treated all the maids very well, she said.
"As such, news reports alleging that I was raped by Datuk are totally false," she said.
The woman's 52-year-old husband, who was by her side during the interview, said the rape allegations came as a shock to him, more so claiming the victim was his wife.
"Throughout her stay in Malaysia, my wife never at any time had complained that she was not treated well by her employer," he said.

tunku : what else to say now? the so called victim has denied she was raped.where else in anwar's sodomy case, the victim was sodomized and admitted it.i guess the opposition leaders will be so frustrated with this news as they were hoping to use this allegation in the coming Tenang by-election.it is weird that husam did interview the so called raped victim in 2007 and did not say anything or used this issue during the 2008 election as he knew it was a total lie but still kept silent on the whole issue as it was benefiting them.sorry guys, try and get a new story now.bad luck.
