A Malaysian family has called on the government to accelerate the repatriation of the remains of a citizen who was stabbed to death in South Korea, according to local media. The family expressed their desire to have the body returned for burial in Malaysia, highlighting the emotional significance of the request.

The incident occurred in South Korea, where the man was attacked and killed. Local authorities are reportedly handling the case, but the family believes the process for bringing the body back home is taking too long. They have reached out to the Malaysian government to intervene and expedite the process.

The family’s appeal underscores the importance of swift repatriation procedures in cases involving citizens abroad. While the exact details of the attack remain under investigation, the emotional plea from the family has drawn attention to the need for faster bureaucratic responses in such situations.

The Malaysian government has not yet issued a formal statement on the matter, but the family’s request reflects a growing concern among citizens about the handling of such cases. (nst.com.my)
