No insurance, no provocation, no warning: The victim’s side of the Kepong bak kut teh assault (VIDEO)

“KUALA LUMPUR, May 14 — The victim of the now-viral assault at a Kepong bak kut the restaurant has spoken out for the first time, revealing that the brutal attack was completely unprovoked and has left him traumatised, in physical pain, and fearful for his family’s safety. In a detailed account released through Kepong DAP, the entrepreneur, who has chosen to remain anonymous, recounted the moments leading up to the vicious assault. He said he was quietly eating his meal when he heard a noise from a nearby table of men who were drinking. “I looked up and saw some guys drinking, then turned away to continue eating,” he explained. He then heard someone shout in Cantonese, “What the f--- are you looking at?” but continued to ignore them as they were strangers. “Then I felt something thrown towards me, which I now know to be ice cubes, and the next thing I know I was viciously attacked and punched for no apparent reason.” The victim vehemently denied any suggestion that he had provoked his assailants. “No, I did not provoke or scold or challenge them in any way whatsoever,” he stressed. “I was in a daze after being punched and only tried to defend myself once after being viciously attacked. If I had challenged or fought back, I believe they would have killed me then.” The attack left him with serious injuries to his head, forehead, eyes, neck, and back, requiring stitches. He is now suffering from persistent headaches, body pain, and occasional blurry vision. The psychological toll has been equally severe. “I am now fearful for my life and my family’s safety. I am traumatised, having painful sleepless nights and do not dare to eat out alone,” he revealed. His recovery involves consultations with multiple specialists, including a neurosurgeon, an orthopaedic surgeon, an ophthalmologist, and a psychiatrist for trauma. He added that he is now burdened with expensive medical bills as he is not covered by medical insurance. With the three suspects now arrested and charged in the Sessions Court, the victim’s hope is that the legal system will deliver a just outcome. “I sincerely hope that justice will be served and that these individuals do not get away,” he said. “This will help prevent the same incident from happening to other innocent people in Malaysia while enjoying a simple meal outside.” Earlier today, Wong Weng Luen, 49; Lai Kae Bin, 33; and Wan Ken Fei, 30, were charged with causing grievous hurt to the victim of the attack. Each is liable to up to 20 years in prison, a fine, and caning upon conviction. https://www.facebook.com/DAPKEPONG/videos/kejadian-berlaku-di-kepong-pada-07052026-pada-jam-212-pagi-mangsa-membuat-lapora/1268542042137910/
