Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Wu Dawei summoned the Malaysian Ambassador to China and lodged a stern representation over the case of a Chinese woman said to have been humiliated in police custody.

"The Chinese government attaches great importance to safeguarding the dignity and safety of Chinese citizens and is deeply concerned about the incident," Xinhua news agency quoted Wang as telling Syed Norulzaman.

Wang urged Malaysia to conduct an immediate investigation into the incident, the report said.

Norulzaman said the Malaysian government and its people were shocked by the case, adding that Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had instructed his government to conduct a probe into the incident.

The case, which has been dubbed "Malaysia's Abu Ghraib" after the Iraqi jail scandal, erupted when a video clip emerged of the unidentified woman prisoner who was forced to perform squats while naked, as a policewoman looked on.

In a separate incident, state media also reported that the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia was further investigating the rape of a Chinese businesswomen by four men in a Malaysian hotel who were wearing military or police uniforms.
