00:01Former Toronto Assemblyman Paul Yong will be sent to Kajang Prison to serve his remaining eight-year sentence after the federal court upheld his rape conviction.
00:10A three-member panel led by Chief Justice Wan Ahmad Faridwan Saleh on Wednesday unanimously dismissed Yong's final appeal against his conviction for raping his Indonesian maid at his home in Ipo, Perak, six years ago.
00:24Now we have to study the judgment and think carefully and see whether there are merits before we file an application for the bill.
00:33We need to discuss with the families.
00:35What was the family?
00:40The family was completely devastated.
00:42They were present in court on both occasions.
00:45The other day and this morning, they heard the arguments and they were confident.
00:50Based on the advice of lawyers and based on what we heard and saw.
00:56And the ruling was devastating for that.
01:01What did his wife say?
01:03His wife.
01:03I think she could not accept the decision, right?
01:05She could accept the law and claiming that he was completely innocent.
01:09Yong, 55, had sought to overturn a Court of Appeal decision that affirmed the Ipo High Court's original guilty verdict for raping his maid, then 23 years old.
01:21In July 2022, the High Court in Ipo sentenced Yong to 13 years in jail and two strokes of the cane.
01:29The Court of Appeal later reduced the sentence to eight years in March 2024 while maintaining the caning.
01:39So, that is why he moved so.
01:44But at the end of before they are focused among the two taxpayers.
01:48All changed the relationship to a lot.
01:50We have to take this place to sit with respect to the file for personally.
