Legal Issues

In July 2024, an aide to Hilman Idham, Zulfahimin Mahdzir, was sentenced to 13 years in prison and received two strokes of the rotan for raping an acquaintance of Hilman. The Kuala Lumpur sessions court ruled that Zulfahimin failed to raise any reasonable doubt in his defence. The incident, which occurred in December 2020, involved the victim being intoxicated at the time. The case highlighted issues of intimidation and the victim's struggle to seek justice.^[3]
