A violent incident occurred at a university in Subang Jaya, Malaysia, on Sunday, 13 July 2025, when a 20-year-old foreign female student was attacked with a knife by her ex-boyfriend. The assault took place on campus and resulted in a serious injury to the woman’s neck.
The local police received an emergency report regarding the attack at approximately 6:30pm. Upon arrival at the scene, officers found the victim with a wound on the left side of her neck. She was quickly transported to University Malaya Medical Centre (PPUM) for emergency treatment. Fortunately, her condition was later reported to be stable.
The attacker, a 21-year-old foreign male and the victim’s former boyfriend, was arrested shortly after the incident. Authorities have not released further details about his nationality or current status as a student or otherwise. Investigations into the motive behind the attack are ongoing, with police considering various angles including the nature of their past relationship and whether any recent conflict led to the assault.
The weapon used in the attack has been identified as a knife, though details regarding how the suspect gained access to it on campus have not been publicly disclosed. The university has yet to issue an official statement on the incident, and it remains unclear whether security protocols were breached or if there were prior warning signs involving the suspect.
This incident has sparked concern over the safety of students in higher education institutions across Malaysia, particularly with regard to domestic disputes escalating into violent confrontations in public or semi-public spaces. It also raises questions about how foreign students are monitored and supported while studying abroad, especially in emotionally volatile situations such as breakups or personal conflict.
Police confirmed that the suspect is currently in custody and will be remanded for further questioning. Charges are expected to follow, likely under sections related to attempted murder or assault with a deadly weapon under Malaysian law. If convicted, the suspect may face a lengthy prison sentence.
The victim remains under observation at PPUM and is receiving both medical and psychological support. Police and university officials are also expected to provide her with victim assistance services in accordance with Malaysian criminal procedure.
The case remains under active investigation, and updates are expected following the completion of the suspect’s remand and further medical reports on the victim.
