On October 27, 2026, a 68-year-old FELDA settler was allegedly murdered in FELDA Lok Heng Selatan. The victim's son, a 40-year-old man, has expressed his shock and confusion over the attack. The unnamed son rushed home upon learning of his father's ordeal. He noted that he was surprised his father had been hacked to death, as he did not believe the suspect was a resident of their FELDA settlement.
Despite living in the same community, the houses were far apart. When the son last saw his father on Saturday, his father was well and free from any known health issues. The family now trusts the police to handle the investigation and hopes for justice. The attack, which allegedly involved a machete, has left the family and community deeply saddened.
The 41-year-old suspect was apprehended in an oil palm plantation in Kota Tinggi around 10:26 am, according to Johor police chief Datuk Ab Rahaman Arsad.
