“Later, my wife made another call to my son and a nurse who picked up the phone said he has passed away,” said the 55-year-old retired manager.
Khian Yip, a first-year accountancy student at Tunku Abdul Rahman College (KTAR) in Kuala Lumpur was with a friend when two men on a motorcycle attacked him.
He and the other student had just finished their dinner at a food court in Jalan 27/27B in Wangsa Maju and were walking back to their hostel at TAR Villa when the assailants struck.
Khian Yip, a former student of the SMJK Sam Tet here and a KTAR scholar, was said to be a promising student and had scored 11As in the SPM examination.
His mother, Lim Lee Ling, 43, was clearly distraught. She cried hysterically as she made preparations for her son’s wake at their home in Taman Cahaya Tasek here.
Khian Yip will be cremated at the Kek Lok Si Crematorium in Bercham here tomorrow.
In Kuala Lumpur, Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Rodzi Ismail said police have classified the case as murder and were hunting down the killers said to be in their 20s.
He urged those with information to contact the Rakan Cop at 03-2115 9999 or the Sentul police station at 03-4042 2222.
