Greed and desperation can often bring out the worst in people and this horrific case is no different.
A Singaporean man was told by a fengshui master (in Malaysia) that he could face a life-threatening mishap; unless, he had sex with a virgin.
The fengshui master then offered him a virgin for RM2,000 ($650), but the man refused his help. Instead, he decided to have sex with his own 11-year-old daughter.

The man, who is a Singaporean store assistant, committed these offences sometime between October and December 2018. He cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the identity of the victim.
According to The Straits Times, the man was living with his wife, son and two daughters in a four-bedroom flat. His son kept to himself in one room. Meanwhile, the two girls slept with their parents in two other rooms without a fixed arrangement. The fourth room was used as a study.
October to December 2018
Sometime between October and December 2018–when the man and the victim were sleeping in the master bedroom–he touched the child inappropriately and told her not to tell anybody.
After her father’s advances, the child avoided sleeping in the same room with him. But the man still found opportunities to sexually exploit her during the day.
When his wife and elder daughter went out grocery shopping one afternoon, the man went to the master bedroom where the victim was sitting. She was watching YouTube videos when the man closed the door and raped her.
Not wanting her parents to get a divorce, the girl refrained from telling her mother or sister about the incident. The victim also feared that her mother would blame her for what happened. This is because her mother categorically told her not to let anyone touch her.
August 2019
The incident only came to light on August 28, 2019, when the victim was caught using an e-cigarette and drinking vodka in school.
When she was questioned by her form teacher, the young girl broke down and revealed that her father had “touched” her.
Her teacher then immediately alerted the school counsellor and the Ministry of Social and Family Development. The victim was then rushed to make a police report.

Man Gets Sentenced To 23 Years’ Jail
The man, who is now 50-years-old, was sentenced to 23 years’ jail on Monday (18 October). He pleaded guilty to one charge of aggravated statutory rape and one charge of aggravated sexual assault by penetration.
The term includes additional jail time in lieu of caning since he cannot be caned due to his age. As the man committed the offences following the fengshui master’s advice, Justice Pang Khang Chau agreed with prosecutors that the offences were premeditated.
Seven other charges were taken into consideration. This includes six for aggravated outrage of modesty.
