During a press conference at Yap’s wake on Thursday, Wong Lee Ping said her daughter sustained more than 200 stab wounds after being attacked in a school toilet at SMK Bandar Utama in Malaysia’s Selangor state on Tuesday.
Fighting back tears, Wong, 44, said online media had underreported the savagery of the attack when they stated Yap was “stabbed 50 times”.
“The truth is she was stabbed 200 times, from the neck to the lungs and also on her legs,” she said.
Wong also appealed for an end to inaccurate and insensitive information about the case.
