KUALA LUMPUR: A grieving father in the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan was shocked to learn that his son, who the prisons authority claimed had passed away last week while being detained in the Sungai Buloh Prison, is still alive.
Mr Chantren was quoted as saying by The Star that his family was told by the prisons department just a few hours before the burial after they realised the mistake and that his 19-year-old son was still alive. "They did a video call . I do not know how to even express my feelings. Our son is still alive, but whose body is at our house now?" said Mr Chantren, according to The Star.
According to New Straits Times, the woman, who only wished to be known as Thilagam, said that she was devastated by the mix up and had to wait even longer before her son's body was returned to her.
