THE mother of the victim who was stabbed at a private university in Subang Jaya thanked the students there for coming to her daughter’s aid and apprehending the perpetrator, reported Sin Chew Daily.

Known only by her surname, Zhang, the mother said she was grateful for the kindness and courage shown by those who witnessed the incident that day and rushed to help her daughter.

“First of all, I would like to thank the students at the university who showed courage and remained calm in the face of danger,” she said, adding that she was also grateful for the help the university provided to her daughter and their family.

Despite the incident, Zhang said she believes that Malaysia is a friendly nation, and she was grateful that her daughter had kind and courageous friends here.

Zhang added that she hopes society would extend the same kindness and understanding to her daughter so that she may be able to return to her studies in peace once she recovers from her injuries.

It was reported earlier that a 21-year-old male foreigner was detained on July 14 for allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend with a knife at a private university here.

Several students apprehended the knife-wielding suspect while others rushed in to help the victim.

> A string of parcels that went missing at a condominium in Kuala Lumpur initially sparked distrust among residents until the culprit was revealed to be a four-legged, furry creature, China Press reported.

According to Xiaohongshu app user Catherinebaebae, the incidents began in June when residents reported that their parcels, left at the security guard post, had disappeared.

It led to arguments in the condominium group chat, with some accusing the management office and security guards of stealing their belongings.

The management office finally identified the culprit and uploa­ded CCTV footage, which showed a brown dog picking up a parcel from a shelf before leaving the scene.

“I could not stop laughing after watching the video,” Catherineebaebae wrote.

It is uncertain if any of the parcels have been successfully recovered so far.
