According to reports, the incidents occurred at a condominium in Wangsa Maju, Setapak. The first incident took place at around 6:45 am, involving a 22-year-old female student who allegedly fell from the 22nd floor.

Meanwhile, the second incident involved a 21-year-old male student and occurred at around 8:30 pm. It is believed that he fell from the highest point of the condominium, which houses a cafeteria.

Despite the similarities, the two incidents are said to be unrelated.

A victim of bullying?

In the meantime, the father of one of the victims suspects that his daughter may have been a victim of bullying. In a report by NST, the man who wished to be identified as Jeff Ho, said he received a call about the incident at 8:45 am and rushed to the scene.

According to him, his daughter had been staying at the condominium with her friends for the past two years, while he resided in Puchong.

“Her friends told me that she was mentally bullied by individuals at her university. She had been under pressure due to disagreements with her peers,” he said.

Ho, a businessman, added that his daughter had confided in her elder sister and younger brother about the emotional stress she was experiencing.

“My daughter was once saved by a security guard when she allegedly attempted to jump from her residence the week before the incident.”
