She said that the fear that enveloped her during the night when she was alone still affected her despite the fact that the men who robbed her have been arrested by the police yesterday.

The incident received the attention of the Exco in charge of Welfare and Women;s Affairs, Rodziah Ismail, who visited her in an apartment here in Bukit Raja yesterday evening.
Rodziah is worried about what happened to Rohani and her family, and hopes that the police will intensify patrolling so that such incidents do not repeat.
“There should be more robust and focused action by the police to see how such things can be overcome, with the rising percentage of crime every day,” she said.
Also present were representatives of the Selangor Zakat Board (LZS) and the Social Welfare Department (JKM) who also gave contributions to ease Rohani’s burdens.
