Police are investigating a Perak executive council member after his Indonesian domestic worker accused him of sexually assaulting her.

Contacted by Malaysiakini this afternoon, Bukit Aman sexual, women and children's investigations division (D11) principal assistant director Choo Lily confirmed that a report was lodged yesterday.

She said the DAP state assemblyperson is being investigated for rape and police have recorded the alleged victim's statement.

However, she declined to reveal if the alleged suspect has been summoned for questioning.
