The former Miss Grand Malaysia 2021 visited a Hindu temple in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi on June 21 with hopes of receiving a blessing. The man, who claimed to be the priest, invited her into a private room for a ritual.

Curious to reconnect with her culture, she believed the ritual would offer her some insight. However, once inside, the man allegedly splashed an unknown liquid on her, which caused a burning sensation in her eyes. He then handed her a red string and a piece of turmeric root as part of the blessing.

We spoke to Lishalliny

Speaking to WeirdKaya, Lishalliny said the priest twisted religion to justify his actions. “He told me it would be a ‘blessing’ if I did it with him because he serves God,” she said. “He claimed the water and string were special and only for ‘deserving people’. After everything, he even said, ‘This week is going to be lucky for you.’”

She added that speaking out wasn’t for sympathy, but to break the silence. “It’s never your fault, whether it happened at home, work, or even a place of worship,” she said. “I know how isolating it feels, and I hope my story helps someone feel less alone.”

To anyone still healing, take your time,” she said. “I’m still figuring it out too. Just don’t let shame silence you. You’re not alone.”

Shamed her for the outfit

Things quickly took a disturbing turn when the man allegedly instructed her to lift her blouse “slightly”. When she refused, he reportedly scolded her for wearing a tight outfit and commented, “What kind of person dresses like this?”.

Lishalliny said she remained still despite knowing something was not right, hoping the ritual would end quickly. That’s when the priest allegedly reached under her blouse and groped her chest while continuing to chant.

“I froze. I didn’t know what to do. My body was in shock,” she said in her post.

After taking days to recover from the trauma, she told her mother on July 4, after which they lodged a police report. When they returned to the temple, she claimed the priest had already left and that a similar complaint was previously made but no action was taken.

Authorities are investigating

According to The Star, a manhunt is currently underway to locate the priest. The Sepang police chief Asst Comm Norhizam Bahaman confirmed that the report was lodged on July 4 and efforts to locate him is ongoing.
