Kuala Lumpur - A Malaysian army corporal was sentenced to a total of 140 years jail and 40 strokes of the cane for sexually assaulting his two underage daughters, a newspaper reported Tuesday. The 43-year old man had earlier pleaded guilty to raping and molesting two of his daughters, now aged 16 and 15, at their home in the capital Kuala Lumpur since January 2006, the Star daily reported..
It said the father repeatedly sexually assaulted the girls when their mother was working at a private clinic.
The older girl finally confided in a school counsellor on June 24, 2008, who then brought both girls to lodge a police report. The father was arrested the next day after medical checks confirmed the abuse.
