KUALA LANGAT: The father of Tan Wei, a Malaysian student who was killed in a stampede at Chen Yi Square, Shanghai in China last Thursday had to check four hospitals in the city before finding out his only daughter had died in the incident.

Tan Chin Hin sadly recalled that upon his arrival in Shanghai from Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, after he had been informed by his wife Lee Siew Yan who was holidaying in China that Tan Wei was involved in the stampede, he could not find his daughter's name in the initial list of victims issued by the authorities in China.
