Kepong MP urges police to reopen probe into assault of foreign woman at KL club

Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng has called on the police, Bukit Aman, to reopen their investigation into the assault of a 28-year-old foreign woman at a Kuala Lumpur club. The incident occurred on August 4th when the victim, Dao Thi Kim Tra, was at the club with a friend. She claims that one of the aggressors, whom she identified as the club's boss, began questioning her in Chinese, to which she responded that she did not understand the language.

The aggressor then proceeded to physically assault her, causing injuries to her left eye, head, and stomach, leaving her with a severe eye injury, including a hemorrhage and hematoma.

According to Dao's medical report, she stated that after the assault, a third man was brought into the room to hand the boss a gun, which the main aggressor pointed directly at her and threatened her. Dao refused to hand the bag of suspected drugs outside the club, leading to her release around 9 PM after her friend convinced the men to let her leave.

The third man, who claimed to be a police officer, later approached Dao at the entrance and suggested she file a police report. She informed the police about the assault the following day on August 6th, but claims that only one of the two aggressors was detained and later released. The police reportedly stated they could not retrieve CCTV footage from the club as their cameras were malfunctioning.

Lim Lip Eng, the Kepong MP who called for a press conference to discuss the case, expressed strong support for reopening the investigation and detaining all suspects involved, emphasizing the seriousness of the threat with a gun as a weapon.
