Child asserts she was tormented prior to tragic fall from Setapak apartment block

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, 50-year-old Jeff Ho is grappling with the loss of his daughter, who passed away under tragic circumstances in Kuala Lumpur.

Ho's daughter was a student at Monash University Malaysia, a private institution in the city. According to Ho, her daughter had been experiencing mental distress due to bullying following a disagreement among some friends. This distress, unfortunately, went unresolved, leading to a series of unfortunate events.

The incident occurred at the Wangsa Maju police headquarters. Ho was informed about his daughter's death by the condominium management at approximately 8:45am. The exact cause of her death is not specified, but allegations suggest she fell from the 22nd floor.

In an attempt to seek help, Ho's daughter had reportedly attempted to fall off the building a week prior to her death, but was stopped by a condominium security guard. This incident, however, did not seem to alleviate her mental distress.

Ho's daughter's friends have shared their condolences and expressed their sympathy to the family. They have also shared that she had confided in them about her struggles, highlighting the severity of the bullying she faced.

In the wake of this tragedy, Ho has expressed his concern about the seriousness of the issue and has called for action to prevent similar tragedies in the future. He is hopeful that by sharing his daughter's story, he can help raise awareness and encourage those who are struggling to seek help.

The body of Ho's daughter has been sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for a post-mortem, and the investigation into her death is ongoing. Our thoughts are with the Ho family during this difficult time.
