A top police official wants universities to check student housing more carefully. Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Hussein Omar Khan says schools must keep students separate from regular renters. Female students face extra dangers when they live with members of the general public. Universities should create special areas that only serve student residents. Better screening will help protect young people from harm.
Security systems need major improvements at student living areas. Schools must add cameras and guards to watch over their housing facilities. Access card systems will help control who enters student buildings. Police plan to work with university staff to stress these safety steps. Hussein says student protection cannot wait for later action.
The comments follow a deadly attack on a University of Cyberjaya student. Maniishapriet Kaur Akhara studied physiotherapy and came from Kuching. Someone found her unconscious Tuesday morning at her off-campus home. Doctors declared her dead when police arrived at the scene. Head wounds from blunt objects caused her death.
Police arrested three people for the killing. Officers found no signs of forced entry or sexual attack. The suspects will stay locked up for one week to help the investigation. Authorities charged them under murder laws that carry serious penalties. Police continue searching for more details about the crime.
