POLITICIANS and other well-wishers continued to visit the family of the late 16-year-old Yan Shing Xuen at the Nirvana Centre Kuala Lumpur.
The sombre atmosphere at the centre reflected not only personal loss but also a deep sense of collective grief within the school community.
Among those who paid their last respects was the prime minister's daughter, Nurul Izzah Anwar who called on Malaysians to unite in ensuring that schools and communities remain safe for children following the fatal stabbing.
"Together we join hands, fighting justice for Shing Xuen and her family; for all our children. As a mother who had also lost a child, I feel the pain of this grief that there is no substitute.
"Sometimes, there is unspoken pain, there is emptiness that remains unfilled. No words can express the pain one is going through.
"While nothing can heal the wounds of loss, I pray that the truth be unveiled," she said.

The PKR deputy president said she was there on behalf of her family and the party community to convey their condolences.
Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo was also present and offered his assistance to the victim's family. - October 18, 2025
