A heartbreaking incident took place on October 1st at Kuen Cheng Secondary School in Kuala Lumpur, where a 13-year-old girl fell to her death from the 8th floor of the building. As her grieving family tries to process the tragedy, her parents have shared intimate details about their beloved daughter's life and personality in an interview with Sin Chew Daily.
The girl, the third child in the family, was described by her parents as having a bubbly and cheerful personality. She was deeply loved at home, and her loss has left the family devastated. Her parents emphasized that they never placed pressure on her to perform well academically, allowing her ample time to relax after school and unwind from the stress of her studies.
However, the family recounted an unsettling experience during the Hungry Ghost Festival that seemed to trouble their daughter. According to her parents, they claimed that the girl mentioned seeing a ghost at the school hostel during this period. Concerned, they brought her home and performed an exorcism to calm her. When asked if she wanted to return to the hostel, the girl said yes, and they assumed the incident was behind them as nothing similar happened afterward.
In the wake of the tragedy, the girl's parents are struggling to come to terms with her death but are not pointing fingers at anyone. Her father reflected on the situation, stating that perhaps if they had shown more love at home, their daughter might still be alive. Despite these feelings of guilt, they maintain that they never pressured her academically and that the family's financial situation was stable. The possibility that their daughter may have been struggling with something else, something unknown, haunts them.
The parents have accepted the loss and expressed their focus on caring for their remaining three children. They also made a heartfelt plea to the public, asking netizens to refrain from sharing their daughter's photos online out of respect for her memory.
The tragic incident has left many questions unanswered, but the family remains united in their grief, determined to move forward with love and care for each other.
