The woman’s daughter expressed how lucky her mother was to have the strength to fight off her attackers and that the neighbors were around to scare them off.
She hoped that her mother’s experience would caution the public to be more aware of such attacks.
Despite claims from the woman’s daughter, Kulai police chief Tan Seng Lee has denied the allegation that the victim had been sexually assaulted, according to Bernama.
He also warned the public to refrain from speculating on the incident as it could lead to unnecessary panic within the community.
“We are identifying those believed to be involved in the incident and the case is being investigated under Sections 363, 511 and 232 of the Penal Code,” he said.
He urged those with information regarding the incident to contact their nearest police station or the investigating officer R Arun immediately.
Police are currently working to identify the alleged attackers.
