KUALA LUMPUR – The mother of the murdered student in the shocking Bandar Utama school case has come forward to correct false information spreading online, revealing that her daughter suffered around 200 stab wounds, not 50 as earlier claimed.
The victim’s mother, Wong Lee Pong, disclosed the horrifying details during a press conference held at the Nirvana Center Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. She said the information came directly from the pathology department at the University of Malaya Medical Centre (PPUM), based on the official post-mortem report.
“Many reports that have gone viral on social media are untrue and have hurt our family deeply.
I was informed that my daughter was stabbed 200 times, with both large and small wounds on her right side, neck, and lungs,” Wong said, holding back tears.
She also explained how the police investigation revealed the sequence of events leading to the tragedy. According to the findings, the suspect allegedly jumped from the top of a toilet cubicle before attacking the victim, who was trapped inside the locked stall.
“My daughter screamed for help, but the toilet door was locked. When a teacher managed to break down the door, my daughter was already gone,” she recounted painfully.
Wong further denied several viral claims circulating online, including allegations that her daughter had been raped or knew the suspect personally.
“Those are lies. My daughter had no contact with the suspect. Please stop spreading false news — it only adds to our pain,” she urged the public.
She also warned against online scammers who have altered QR codes found on invitation posters for the final respects ceremony. Wong said genuine donations can only be made directly at Nirvana Center Kuala Lumpur.
The grieving mother called on authorities and schools nationwide to ensure that such a tragic incident never happens again, urging for tighter security and better student protection measures. – The Star
