PETALING JAYA: A reward of RM10,000 has been offered to anyone with credible information on the person who assaulted a woman inside a lift at an MRT station in Cheras.
Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng (pic) said in a statement on Sunday (Feb 17) that his office is offering the RM10,000 bounty.
"The police have yet to identify the assailant. It is hoped that the cash offer will lead to the robber’s arrest immediately.
"My biggest fear is that if he is not caught soon, his actions may influence other villains to commit such crimes in a similar fashion in lifts, or in obscure corners all over the country," said Lim.
The incident happened on Thursday (Feb 14), prompting the Kuala Lumpur police to set up a 200-strong task force to apprehend the criminal.
The 48-year-old woman suffered multiple injuries, including bruises on her forehead, after the savage attack on Valentine’s Day.
A CCTV recording shows the woman entering the lift, followed by the man, who then punched and kicked her repeatedly.
Anyone with valid information on the assailant's whereabouts can approach Lim's office in Kepong or e-mail parlimenkepong@gmail.com
