As the argument became fiercer, the victim attempted to attack the suspect with a chair, causing her to stab him in self-defense.

The case will be investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder and the suspect will be brought to court today for a remand order.

Once a GE14 candidate

The suspect, identified as Lau Seck Yan by police, once contested for the Port Dickson constitutional seat as an independent candidate during the 14th General Election and was widely known for her charitable acts.

She is also remembered for using a rabbit as her mascot during her campaign trail, where she touted its long ears as the symbol of her readiness to “listen” to the people’s voice.

However, she only received 214 votes and lost her deposit as a result.
