An odd-job worker in Muar, Johor was found guilty of raping his daughter, then 17, since 2007.
The sessions court has imposed a 25-year jail term and 10 strokes for each offence and ordered the sentences to run concurrently from the date of arrest on Jan 21 this year.
He was found guilty of raping his daughter at a house in Lenga at 8am in 2007, at another house in Pagoh between midnight and 4am in August last year and at the same house at 4am in October last year.
Deputy public prosecutor Zairani Tugiran urged the court to impose a deterrent sentence on the father of three.
The court was earlier told that the victim had stayed at a boarding school but when she returned home, she was raped when her mother was at work in a factory or while she was asleep.
The court was also told the girl was warded in Muar Hospital for psychiatric observation because of depression.
