TAIPING: An Indonesian construction worker claimed trial to raping a 34-year-old journalist from his home country.
Remmang, 46, pleaded not guilty to raping the woman between 9pm on Sept 17 and 1am the next day at a kongsi house at the construction site of the Mara Junior Science College in Liman Kati, Kuala Kangsar.
He also denied hurting her at the same time and place.
Remmang, from Sulawesi, further claimed trial to entering and staying in Malaysia without a valid pass when arrested at the kongsi house on Sept 18.
He also pleaded not guilty to having the identity card of one Mashidi Sait.
Denying bail for the rape charge and immigration offence, Sessions Court judge Meor Sulaiman Ahmad Tarmizi, however, set bail at RM1,000 for the charge of causing hurt and RM2,000 for the alleged possession of another person’s identity card.
The case is fixed for mention on Dec 11 at the Kuala Kangsar Sessions Court. No one posted bail for Remmang.
