AT least two underaged girls have been raped by a “Datuk” who dangled the promise of providing them with lucrative jobs in Kajang, reported China Press.

The “Datuk” befriended the victims via friends-based social networks by offering them to become his personal assistant.

Police picked up the man, in his 40s, at a house in Kajang on Thursday after receiving two police reports on Monday and Tuesday.

Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yusoff believes that more victims could have been involved and urged those with informatio­n to come forward and assist police investigat­ion.

“One of them is a student who befriended the ‘Datuk’ via a social platform.

“The suspect said he could get her a job before raping her at a shoplot in Bangi. The other victim was duped the same way,” he said, adding that the cases were being investigat­ed under Section 376 of the

Penal Code for rape.

> Netizens could not believe their eyes when they saw pictures of Singaporea­n singer A-do, reported Guang Ming Daily.

The singer, with the hoarse, sexy voice who popularise­d the song Ta Yi Ding Hen Ai Ni in the early 2000s, has gained excessive weight, judging by the pictures.

“Please tell me it’s not true,” said a netizen, while another said: “It could be the middle-aged spread as A-do is now married with a fouryear-old boy.”

Another social media user said: “The song is still the same but A-do is no longer the singer we know previously.”

However, another user said: “Please let him off as medication could make people gain weight.”

It was previously reported that A-Do made a quiet disappeara­nce from the music industry for seven years after he was diagnosed with panic disorder. He put on weight as a result of medication.
