BUKIT MERTAJAM: The police will keep a watchful eye on convicted serial rapist S. Selva Kumar, who is expected to return to Malaysia from Canada. Penang police chief Datuk Chuah Ghee Lye said there was a great possibility that Selva Kumar, 56, would return to Penang as he had lived in the state before and still had relatives here. Chuah said the police could not impose any restrictions on him as he had the right to lead a normal life after having served his sentence. "The police cannot detain him in this country based purely on his criminal record because he has been subjected to the appropriate penalty abroad ... so he is free to return to Malaysia. Several news portals had reported that Selva Kumar, who hails from Perak, was expected to live in Penang because he had relatives in that state.
