KANGAR: Associates linked to Perlis Umno chief Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim today denied a report he had attempted to sexually molest a 15-year-old girl.

“The MP who isn’t strong on his feet these days arranged to meet a teenage Busker in the back of his Toyota harrier at 11:30 pm with no guardian present to ‘have a chat,’” a source confirmed,

“The backseats of vehicles are the only location one can conduct meetings with 15-year-old performers when you can’t walk easily. It’s not like they make chairs with wheels on them for the disabled to get around. Getting this girl alone in his car to offer her RM4000 to play in KL truly was the only way.”

It is understood the ailing Shahidan had a minor stroke which according to the girl’s police report is all he could manage before she ran away.
