KUANTAN: A policeman was injured after being attacked with a machete by a man believed to be mentally unstable at a house in Felda Bukit Kuantan yesterday. Corporal Mohd Shafril Izzwan Ismail, 37, suffered injuries to his back, chin and fingers on his left hand. Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the incident occurred around 5.30pm after three policemen from the Panching police station responded to a report of a man going on a rampage with a machete. Upon arrival, they attempted to calm the man. "However, he became aggressive and slashed the victim with the machete," Yahaya said in a statement. A team from the Kuantan police headquarters' Criminal Investigation Division was later deployed and arrested the suspect. Mohd Shafril Izzwan was taken to Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA) for treatment. Yahaya said police also seized a machete and two other sharp weapons.

Som said the family had been returning to their home in Muadzam Shah, Rompin, after visiting relatives in Taman Sepakat, Kuantan. "My son had gone to visit his younger sibling to enjoy pulut santan durian (glutinous rice with durian in coconut milk). He loved durian and had spent RM300 on the fruits. "During the gathering, Jamal Azizul also spoke about his plans to buy land and build a house," she said. A sombre atmosphere enveloped the forensic unit this afternoon when two of the couple's children – who are still undergoing treatment – arrived to pay their final respects at 3.15pm. Nursyamimie Jamal Azizul, 17, and Muhammad Syamril Alif, 15, were accompanied by relatives. Their youngest sibling, Muhammad Syakir Iman, was unable to attend as he remains hospitalised.
