Kajang District Police Chief Naazron Abdul Yusof, said the 24-year-old suspect was remanded for seven days until August 20 for further investigations

“Initial investigations found that the suspect is believed to have acted in this way because she was disappointed with the treatment she received while studying and her life, which caused her stress.

According to him, so far a total of 11 witnesses including the victim have had statements taken to assist in the ongoing investigation to identify the true cause of the incident.

"Two of the injured victims are currently in stable condition, but are still being treated in hospital" he said.

Two victims were treated in hospital, while the other four received outpatient treatment. - August 14, 2025
