The decomposed body of 15-year-old Yap Xin Yuan was discovered in a river in Banting, Selangor, on December 29, 2024, ten days after she was reported missing. Authorities believe the body belongs to Yap, though confirmation through DNA testing is pending. The case, initially a missing person’s report, has escalated into a murder investigation.

Yap, who lived in Selangor, disappeared on December 19 after informing her family she was attending a lion dance practice. Her father dropped her off at the lion dance center that morning, but when she failed to return home, her family became alarmed. They later discovered that the center was closed because its manager was overseas.

Attempts to contact Yap proved futile, as her phone was switched off. Her family reached out to her 16-year-old boyfriend via Instagram, but he did not respond. Desperate, the family lodged a police report and sought help through social media.

The boyfriend initially denied involvement, telling the police that Yap visited his house on the day she disappeared. He claimed they had a meal together before arguing, after which she allegedly left in a private hire vehicle. However, inconsistencies in his account, coupled with evidence from ride-hailing records and CCTV footage, cast doubt on his story.

On December 28, Malaysian police received a tip-off leading to the discovery of a body in a Banting river. The body, which was highly decomposed, matched Yap’s physical features, clothing, and accessories. Her family held on to hope, awaiting DNA confirmation, but her father later expressed acceptance of the tragic loss.

Investigations took a turn when the boyfriend confessed during questioning to dumping Yap’s body in the river. According to media reports, he claimed they had consumed drug-laced beverages, which led to Yap’s death. Panicking, he allegedly sought help from his family, including his 20-year-old brother and 51-year-old father, to dispose of the body in Sungai Changgang.

The boyfriend, along with his brother and father, was arrested on December 29 for assisting in the alleged murder. Authorities are still investigating the events leading to Yap’s death, as her cause of death remains undetermined.

The tragic case has sent shockwaves through the community, with many expressing outrage over the senseless loss of a young life. Yap’s family, devastated by the news, is now awaiting the DNA results and hoping for justice to be served.

Vulgar Taxi Driver Argues With Passenger Over Fare

A video documenting a heated dispute between a taxi driver and his passengers has circulated widely online, sparking significant discussion about service standards and passenger rights. The incident began when the passengers, a man in the front seat and a woman in the back, reached their destination and questioned an unexplained charge on the fare meter. The core of the argument centered on an additional amount listed under the "EXTRA" category on the taxi's payment display. The male passenger sought a clear explanation for this surcharge, suggesting that imposing unaccounted fees could potentially lead to repercussions for the driver's vocational license. The driver, in his defense, stated that since he had not yet collected the payment, he had not actually received the money and therefore could not be accused of overcharging at that point in time. The situation escalated rapidly when the driver proposed going to a police station to settle the matter. When the male...
