KTAR student Phang Kar Wei, 23, at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital here yesterday. Phang was slashed three times and assaulted by snatch thieves in the incident in Taman Melati last Saturday.

KUALA LUMPUR: A second Tunku Abdul Rahman College (KTAR) student fell victim to robbres just minutes after first-year accountancy student Lee Khian Yip was hacked to death in Wangsa Maju here on Saturday.

Phang Kar Wei, 23, was repeatedly assaulted and slashed three times on his hands and neck by two men on a motorcycle at 8.45pm in Taman Melati, some 2km from Wangsa Maju.

Police believe the same robbers were behind both incidents.

Met at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital yesterday, Phang said he was walking back to his condominium from the Taman Melati LRT station about 1km away when he saw two men, aged between 18 and 20, standing beside a motorcycle.

“When I walked past them, one of them asked me for directions to get to Kelana Jaya but I said I was not sure and kept on walking.

“His friend then asked me if he could borrow my handphone to make a call as his pre-paid credit was used up.”

Phang said he ignored him. The Information System Engineering student from Kampar said both the men followed and cornered him.

GOING INTO DETAILS: Phang relating his ordeal to Yew at Kuala Lumpur Hospital yesterday.

“One held me while the other threatened me with a parang. When I refused to hand over my money, he slashed my neck, took my RM1,000 laptop and the RM2 in my wallet.”

Phang managed to run away but the men caught up with him on their motorcycle.

“They slashed me again and repeatedly assaulted me,” he said.

Wangsa Maju MP Yew Teong Look said the area was prone to crime and hoped the authorities would ensure the situation did not get worse.

I was at the forum earlier. People were so furious and emotional. The press was there to cover the forum. The people were throwing questions and questions at the police who were represented by Sentul OCPD (who is in charge of whole Setapak inclusive of Wangsa Maju). YB Yew Teong Look was so protective of the police he asked everyone not to question the authority but to look into a solution.

A question threw at the OCPD is do they have any information, suspect or any solid clue into the incident as yet. The OCPD answered with a no followed by a loud jeer from the attendees. The person who asked the question later identify himself as a representative from Fu Gui Group (best known for operating Fu Gui Cemetary) and offer a reward of RM30,000 for any information which lead to the arrest of the culprits. Also an immediate help of RM5,000 to the 2nd surviving victim of the slashing incident which is currently recuperating in the hospital.

there is a big question mark: if police cant protect us? who shall me turn to? Raping and robbering cases keep on terrorizing our country! The criminals treat police like nothing, btw, did police has ANYTHING for them to be scared of?! And the stupid government, From now on effort should be pour into improvement of public security rather than anything else! YOU HEARD ME? WE WANT A SECURE SOCIETY! rather then questions, throw tables and chairs to them show them our rant until they do so!

i say.. chop their hands off before we hang these criminals!
