The family of a woman who sustained severe burns in a petrol attack in Kepong is demanding answers regarding her connection to the suspect. Yap, the victim's daughter, expressed relief at the suspect's arrest but frustration at the lack of a clear explanation from the police. Police have stated that the incident was likely a result of a personal grudge.
Yap, who is the fourth of five siblings, remains concerned about the police's description of the 59-year-old suspect and her 62-year-old mother as acquaintances. She questioned the exact nature of their relationship and whether any contact was found on her mother's phone. Her mother, still in a critical condition in the ICU, has undergone four surgeries since the attack on August 9.
Police have indicated that the incident began with a personal grudge, possibly involving lottery numbers.
