Chinese Woman Stabbed to Death in Broad Daylight at Malaysian Mall Restaurant

A tragic incident occurred on November 29, 2024, when a 49-year-old Chinese national, employed as a restaurant manager, was stabbed multiple times in an unprovoked attack.

The incident occurred around 3 to 4 PM at a Chinese restaurant near the Kajang Police Headquarters in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos as diners and staff scrambled to escape after the stabbing.

Emergency services arrived promptly and rushed the woman to Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz, but she tragically succumbed to her injuries while en route to the hospital.

Multiple Stab Wounds

According to the police, the victim suffered four to five stab wounds, mostly to the abdomen. The weapon used in the attack has yet to be found.

Following the attack, it is believed that the assailant fled immediately after committing the crime. Additionally, police detained seven of the victim’s colleagues for questioning.

Their involvement remains under investigation, with authorities hoping their testimonies will help clarify the motive behind the incident.

“Big Sister” Among Peers

The victim was known for her friendly and approachable demeanor and was well-liked by both customers and colleagues.

According to Oriental Daily, a nearby restaurant owner shared, “The deceased’s husband is a Malaysian man. She was known for her friendly demeanor, and her colleagues referred to her as ‘Big Sister.’ She had lived in Malaysia for many years, though we are unsure about her relationship with her husband.”

He also mentioned that there were no signs of disturbance before the attack. He said that everything seemed normal until the restaurant staff rushed out to inform them that something terrible had happened.

Investigation in Full Swing

Authorities quickly sealed off the crime scene, reviewing CCTV footage and deploying K9 units to track the suspect. During the attack, employees located on the mezzanine level claimed to have seen nothing.

Assistant Commissioner Aidil Bolhassan of the Kajang District Police emphasized that the investigation is ongoing, and authorities are still working to track down witnesses and determine the motive behind the crime.
