NST CRIME WATCH: Murder, school attack and baby's death dominate the week
KUALA LUMPUR: Murder, violence, organised crime and shocking attacks dominated Malaysia's crime headlines this week, with several cases drawing widespread public attention and raising concerns over safety and security.
The week in Malaysia was marked by several high-profile criminal incidents that dominated the crime headlines, raising concerns over safety and security. These included the murder of an MCBA officer in Nilai, an alleged attack on a teacher by a student at an international school in Kuching, and the bust of an organised crime group called Geng Suria linked to 20 violent and property crimes in Kedah.
The MCBA officer's murder remains one of the most closely followed cases, with her husband detained and a post-mortem revealing she died from pressure on the neck and stab wounds. The student attack on a teacher in Kuching resulted in the seizure of an axe and a penknife, prompting renewed concerns over school safety. Meanwhile, the bust of Geng Suria, an organised crime group believed to have been active since early 2024 and involved in 20 violent and property crimes, was announced by Bukit Aman.
The operation, dubbed Op Sunset, saw the arrest of nine members aged between 28 and 52 who allegedly used dangerous weapons and caused significant losses.
