A Malaysian woman and her adult son sustained serious injuries during a violent altercation with their domestic worker at their KotaSAS residence on Tuesday morning. Kuantan district police commander Ashari Abu Samah reported that the 57-year-old homeowner discovered her 28-year-old son fighting the 44-year-old foreign employee around 8:30 a.m. after hearing his distress calls from downstairs.
The confrontation escalated when the mother intervened and suffered head trauma from a blade strike before disarming the assailant, who then attempted to retrieve additional cutlery from another room. The homeowner disposed of six knives and scissors through an external window before summoning emergency services. Medical personnel treated the son for thumb amputation and multiple wounds while his mother received care for head and hand lacerations at Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital alongside the detained worker, who claimed job-related pressure contributed to the incident. Authorities charged the suspect under Penal Code provisions addressing grievous harm.
