Mum of Bandar Utama stabbing victim seeks support for court ruling review
KUALA LUMPUR: The mother of Yap Shing Xuen, who died in a school stabbing, has appealed to the public to support a petition urging the Attorney-General's Chambers to appeal the acquittal of the 15-year-old boy charged in the case.
The mother of Yap Shing Xuen, who tragically lost his life in a school stabbing incident, is reaching out to the public for support. In a Facebook post, Wong Lee Ping, Yap's mother, has called for a petition to be presented to the Attorney-General's Chambers, urging them to appeal the acquittal of the 15-year-old boy accused in the case.
Wong respects the legal process and judicial system but wishes for her family's voice to be heard in this matter. The High Court recently acquitted the 15-year-old, stating that he was of unsound mind during the incident. Judge Datuk Adlin Abdul Majid ordered the boy's detention and medical treatment at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta in Perak at the Sultan of Selangor's discretion.
Wong emphasizes that they are a grieving family seeking to make their concerns known and urges the public to support their appeal. She stresses that they are not prejudging the case's outcome and only hope that the legal procedures and the right to appeal, as provided by law, will be given serious consideration.
