The National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) has announced a dividend of 3.05% for the National Education Saving Scheme (Simpan SSPN) 2022. The dividend is said to be worth an estimated allocation of RM266.17 million which will benefit a total of 5.73 million Simpan SSPN account depositors.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin announced the dividend payout, stating that Simpan SSPN had recorded a total of RM3.36 billion in deposits, higher than its initial target of RM2.8 billion. The dividend of 3.05% is higher compared to the 3% dividend announced in 2021 and is still considered competitive with current savings and fixed deposit rates at local banks, which range between 2.05% and 2.75% per annum.
Through the deposit investment amounted to RM321.65 million in 2022, PTPTN was able to give a 3.05% dividend, demonstrating that the scheme remains reliable and competitive in the market. He added that Simpan SSPN is the best option for parents to save for their children's education and can help reduce the community's dependency on education loans while preventing children from the burden of debt when they graduate.
"In line with the Malaysia Madani concept that emphasises economic and social well-being for a better Malaysia, the ministry will always support efforts that aim to cultivate saving practices for educational purposes.&rdquo;
&ldquo;In addition to being the only savings product that provides income tax relief of up to RM8,000 per year, Simpan SSPN is also equipped with takaful protection for depositors, matching grants of up to RM10,000 for each eligible family, guaranteed savings by the government and syariah-compliant investment,&rdquo; he said.
A New Campaign For 2023
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4359aac40bd5e8b93f311f2eb8560ecb48948d67d47be55637abc5c3de9dbd3d" />
To further motivate depositors, Khaled also launched the Ganjaran Kesetiaan Simpan SSPN Prime 2023 campaign. The campaign will pay out a one per cent return from the Simpan SSPN programme for depositors who have been saving since 2004 until Dec 31, 2019. The campaign will run until July 2023 and can be enjoyed by Simpan SSPN Prime depositors, who make accumulate savings during the promotion period with a minimum amount of RM500.
The Higher Education Ministry hopes that both the 3.05% dividend declaration and the 1% return from the campaign will continue to motivate and increase confidence in the SSPN scheme.

Renowned Malaysian singer, actor, and songwriter Muhammad Na&rsquo;im Daniel Baharin &mdash; better known to fans as Naim Daniel &mdash; has pleaded not guilty to a charge of physically sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl. The 28-year-old appeared at the Sessions Court in Putrajaya on the morning of 17 June 2025, following weeks of intense speculation and growing public scrutiny.
The charge relates to an incident said to have occurred on the evening of 19 May 2025 at around 8.56pm, at a hotel in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. According to court documents, Naim is alleged to have committed a sexual act for the purpose of sexual gratification without intercourse, categorised as &ldquo;physical sexual assault&rdquo; under Malaysian law.
Charged Under Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bff85cf7910fcd2db1a13bc48f311b3410691199b37025197e589d2150011305" />
The case has been filed under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 (Act 792), a provision that specifically targets non-penetrative sexual offences against minors. If convicted, Naim could face a maximum of 20 years in prison and may also be subjected to corporal punishment in the form of whipping.
The case was heard before Judge Datin M. Kunasundary, with Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurul Izzah Shaharuddin leading the prosecution. Representing Naim were legal counsels Datuk Amirul Ridzuan Hanif and Mohd Irwan Sumadi.
The prosecution requested bail be set at RM15,000, with additional conditions including the surrender of Naim's international passport and strict orders preventing any contact with the alleged victim or prosecution witnesses. The court allowed bail at RM12,000 with one surety, but agreed to enforce the added conditions put forward by the prosecution.
Timeline of Events: From Arrest to Courtroom
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ef08aaef591327a8defe8f83fd7d34e8f3f641d05d0a1d10b19121e28cbdfc1" />
News of the case began circulating earlier in June, when local media outlets reported that a male celebrity had been arrested in connection with the alleged assault of a teenage girl. Initial details were scarce, though reports suggested the suspect and the victim had been in contact for some time prior to the alleged incident.
On 3 June, police arrested Naim Daniel, who was released on police bail the following day after giving his statement. According to Bukit Aman CID Sexual, Women, and Child Investigation Division principal assistant director Senior ACP Siti Kamsiah Hassan, the actor first encountered the teenager at a caf&eacute; where she was employed. Over the following weeks, they reportedly maintained contact, culminating in a private meeting at a hotel in Petaling Jaya.
Following the arrest, speculation ran rampant online. Although authorities did not initially release the name of the suspect, netizens quickly zeroed in on Naim Daniel as the likely individual involved. Social media users cited his sudden silence on platforms and recent absence from the public eye as suspicious. When he finally appeared in court, it was seen as confirmation by many who had speculated about his involvement.
Court Appearance: Calm Demeanour Amidst Media Frenzy
Naim arrived at the courthouse in Putrajaya shortly before 9am, escorted by his mother in a white Mercedes-Benz. Dressed smartly and appearing composed, he greeted members of the press with a short &ldquo;Assalamualaikum, okay InshaAllah,&rdquo; before entering the court complex.
After the charges were read in a closed-door session, Naim formally entered a plea of not guilty. When later approached by the media outside the courtroom, he declined to go into detail, citing the early stage of the proceedings. However, he did offer a brief statement asserting his innocence and commitment to clearing his name.

&ldquo;I understand that this is a very serious accusation. I know many have questions, and some are even shocked by this. But as the matter is still at its beginning, I will not comment further to avoid interfering with the legal process. I leave everything in the hands of the justice system,&rdquo; he said.
Focus on Mental Health and Public Image
The Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL) 34 winner said that he is currently prioritising his personal well-being amidst the intense public attention. &ldquo;For now, I want to focus on my health and inner peace. I appreciate those who&rsquo;ve expressed concern. I&rsquo;m doing well, Alhamdulillah, and I hope for everyone&rsquo;s prayers,&rdquo; he added.
Naim&rsquo;s legal team later confirmed that the bail amount of RM12,000 had been paid and that his passport had been handed over to the court as required. The next mention of the case has been scheduled for 18 August 2025 at the same court.
Public Reaction: Outrage, Disappointment, and Divided Support
The charges against Naim have sparked an emotional and polarised reaction among Malaysians. The public, especially on social media, has been vocal in expressing shock, dismay, and anger. Many expressed disappointment, given Naim&rsquo;s previously wholesome image and his popularity among younger audiences.
&ldquo;Projek: High Council,&rdquo; the drama in which Naim starred as Ayam, gained a cult following earlier this year. His involvement in various campaigns and youth-oriented programmes only amplified the backlash from those who feel betrayed by the allegations.
However, some fans have chosen to withhold judgment until the conclusion of the legal process. Supporters have called for due process to be respected, noting that an accusation does not equal guilt. A few even took to social media to wish him strength, using hashtags like #StayStrongNaim.

A Watershed Moment for Celebrity Accountability in Malaysia?
The case has also reignited broader conversations about accountability within Malaysia&rsquo;s entertainment industry. Advocates for child protection laws and women's rights groups have called for the media and public not to sensationalise the matter but to allow the legal system to proceed unhindered.
Legal experts say the coming weeks will be crucial. If the case proceeds to trial, the prosecution will need to present substantial evidence. Conversely, Naim&rsquo;s legal team is expected to build a defence around consent and context, though the fact that the victim is a minor will significantly complicate such arguments.
For now, the question of guilt or innocence remains with the courts. What is clear, however, is that this case marks a significant test of Malaysia&rsquo;s judicial system, media ethics, and public attitudes towards celebrity and accountability.

Local Star Naim Daniel Charged With Sexual Assault Of Teen: Public Outcry And Legal Fight Loom

What was intended as a major flood mitigation and river restoration project has turned into an unsettling revelation of hidden tragedies and deep-seated pollution. Over a dozen human bodies, including that of a baby, have been discovered as part of the Klang River Flood Mitigation Project, carried out under the Selangor Maritime Gateway (SMG) initiative.
These revelations have stunned both the project team and the public, offering a stark reminder of the environmental and societal challenges that lurk beneath Malaysia&rsquo;s most urbanised waterways.
Bodies Found Amid River Dredging
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7a466ee71240db133338f00fafcc5f453d1e309605d4c89a040b4354693a919c" />
According to Landasan Lumayan Sdn Bhd (LLSB) managing director Syaiful Azmen Nordin, the discovery of human remains has not been an isolated incident, but a grimly recurring reality since works began on 1 November 2022. The project, which includes dredging and widening the river to reduce the risk of flooding, has exposed more than ten bodies, with some weeks witnessing back-to-back discoveries.
&ldquo;To date, we&rsquo;ve handed over more than 10 bodies to the police and fire department for further investigation,&rdquo; Syaiful revealed during a press visit to Zone 8 of the project in Kota Kemuning on 16 June.
He described the emotional impact of the discoveries on workers, noting that the infant body was particularly distressing. &ldquo;There was even a point where we found three bodies in three consecutive days,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;These are not the kinds of findings you prepare for in civil engineering.&rdquo;
Unprecedented Pollution: Fridges, Sofas and Motorcycles in the Riverbed
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2680fc8173041d6b244d9537a60d60c6d01841b2fc2836ba36e1a69e1ccbdf5a" />
Beyond the haunting discovery of bodies, the flood mitigation teams have also encountered shocking levels of river pollution. As workers excavated sediment and debris, they pulled out massive items such as refrigerators, lorry tyres, mattresses, bedframes, sofas, and even motorcycles from the bottom of the Klang River.
&ldquo;I honestly don&rsquo;t understand how an entire refrigerator ends up in a river,&rdquo; Syaiful said, baffled by the sheer scale of illegal dumping. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not just one or two isolated items&mdash;this has clearly been going on for a long time.&rdquo;
The level of pollution has made dredging efforts significantly more complex. To date, more than 918,936 cubic metres of waste material&mdash;including sediment, solid waste, and rocks&mdash;have been removed from the river as part of the ongoing restoration effort.
Additionally, LLSB records show that since 2016, a total of 94,000 metric tonnes of floating waste have been collected from the river&rsquo;s surface&mdash;highlighting both past neglect and the present urgency of clean-up operations.
Holistic Approach to River Restoration
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e8b5ea929eba289f559b175424fd3a9347aec62e9d4e750afd1b6e116c4fe1ee" />
The Klang River Flood Mitigation Project is part of a broader, long-term plan under the SMG framework to address flood risks while restoring the Klang River&rsquo;s ecosystem and turning it into a sustainable water resource. The initiative aims to expand the river&rsquo;s flow capacity by up to 40% and improve water quality to at least Class III on the Water Quality Index (WQI), allowing for future treatment into potable water.
Current works focus on Zones 6, 7, and 8 in Shah Alam, covering areas identified as flood-prone, including Alam Impian, Section 24, Section 17, and Kota Kemuning. The project includes widening the river from 50&ndash;60 metres to 80&ndash;100 metres, strengthening embankments with flood walls, geo bags, sheet piles, and introducing earth bunds for structural resilience.
The initiative also supports the Shah Alam Sustainable Urban Drainage (SASUD) programme and the development of a water treatment plant at Sungai Rasau, aligning efforts to ensure Klang River becomes a future source of raw water supply for Selangor.
Minimal Community Disruption Promised
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d0d0a1ae20b43d07f3e588aed0f6714c9d544fb41d3386fff1d8408977a4706b" />
Despite the scale of the project, LLSB has assured the public that community disruption has been kept to a minimum. Measures have been taken to mitigate dust, noise, and traffic disturbances, including the provision of alternative routes, noise monitoring, and early communication with affected residents.
&ldquo;This is not just a construction site,&rdquo; said Syaiful. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a community-focused infrastructure project aimed at preventing disasters like flash floods while also creating long-term ecological value.&rdquo;
While engineering and environmental planning are progressing, Syaiful emphasised that public behaviour remains a critical challenge. He called for greater civic awareness, pointing out that many of the items dumped into the river could have been recycled or disposed of responsibly.
&ldquo;Some of these things may have washed in during floods, but not all of them. The volume is too high,&rdquo; he stressed. &ldquo;This shows a lack of civic responsibility. People must change the way they think about waste and how we treat our rivers.&rdquo;
Looking Ahead: A Cleaner, Safer Klang River
Syaiful confirmed that the flood mitigation and rehabilitation efforts will expand to other sections of the Klang River, prioritised based on flood risk assessments and population density.
He acknowledged that the project is not without its difficulties. &ldquo;Our challenges are significant&mdash;but we believe that this integrated, large-scale approach is the future of water management and flood prevention in Selangor.&rdquo;
Despite its grim revelations, the Klang River project is charting a path forward&mdash;one that not only improves urban resilience to floods but aspires to turn a polluted and neglected river into a sustainable natural asset for generations to come.
As we strive for sustainability, it's essential that Malaysians take responsibility&mdash;not only by keeping our rivers free from waste, but also by embracing proper recycling habits. These small, consistent actions can go a long way in keeping both our waterways and streets clean for future generations.

The discovery of an infant’s body left a profound emotional impact on those involved in the cleanup efforts.

Klang River Project Uncovers Grim Truths: Bodies, Waste, And the Battle To Reclaim A River

Controversial internet personality Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, known for his provocative prank videos and live-stream antics, has been moved to a high-security facility in the Philippines as he awaits trial for multiple legal violations. The Russian-American content creator, who has over 10 million YouTube subscribers and a significant following on streaming platform Kick, was arrested in April 2025 following a string of allegedly harassing and disruptive incidents involving Filipino citizens.
On 11 June 2025, Zdorovetskiy was transferred from the Bureau of Immigration (BI) detention centre in Bicutan to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) facility in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila. This move signals a shift from administrative detention to a more stringent custodial arrangement due to the seriousness of the allegations against him.
Who Is Vitaly Zdorovetskiy?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/acd05eb7dadb3ba0bcabb41a04fe5c851cfd32f9ecf9369edd36fdf7cd7b483c" />
Born in Russia and holding both American and Russian citizenships, Vitaly rose to prominence through viral prank videos that often skirt the line between humour and public nuisance. He has also dabbled in live streaming, with a fanbase attracted to his unpredictable, confrontational content.
However, his notoriety has been marred by frequent controversies. In his early content, Vitaly was known for shock-based humour, but in recent years, his antics have escalated into confrontational &ldquo;in real life&rdquo; (IRL) stunts. In April 2025, during a series of live streams in the Philippines, he was accused of harassing locals, attempting to kiss a security guard without consent, and even allegedly stealing.
The resulting public outcry was swift, with Filipino authorities responding by detaining him. The Bureau of Immigration confirmed that the arrest was prompted by multiple reports of public disorder and violations of immigration laws. Notably, officials from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) confirmed that Zdorovetskiy admitted to several of the alleged acts.
Here&rsquo;s some clips of his antics in the Philippines:

From Entertainment to Enforcement: A High-Profile Case
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/44a103177a771643e4b6d2f01c4067ff4d2b3f6a0aaa9e01d1359bc0f36547df" />
Despite his attorney&rsquo;s efforts to secure bail and his offer to voluntarily report to authorities if released, the BI denied Zdorovetskiy's request. Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado emphasised that Vitaly&rsquo;s case is not merely administrative in nature but a matter of upholding Philippine law and protecting public order.
&ldquo;This is not simply an administrative concern&mdash;it is a matter of upholding the integrity of our immigration system,&rdquo; Viado stated. &ldquo;We cannot allow deportation proceedings to be delayed or derailed by public figures using their platform for sympathy or manipulation.&rdquo;
He added that foreign nationals, regardless of celebrity status, must respect local laws or face legal consequences.
The denial of bail and transfer to BJMP Muntinlupa suggest Philippine authorities are taking a tough stance, especially after rising public concern over foreign social media influencers allegedly abusing their platform to disrespect host countries.
Prison Conditions, Health Decline, and Public Backlash
Following his arrest on 2 April 2025, Vitaly&rsquo;s conditions in custody have drawn attention. Reports surfaced alleging that the YouTuber was being held in a sweltering cell with no air conditioning. Images released on social media on 16 June showed a visibly thinner Vitaly, sparking concern among fans. Observers noted significant weight and muscle loss, with noticeable changes in his facial structure.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Initially, some reports speculated he could be detained for up to three years, but legal analysts now estimate a potential sentence closer to 18 months &mdash; if found guilty. Nevertheless, his legal battles are far from over. As of now, there is no confirmed trial date nor clarity on how long the proceedings may take.
President Ferdinand &ldquo;Bongbong&rdquo; Marcos Jr himself weighed in on the controversy. In a public statement, he condemned the YouTuber&rsquo;s actions, saying: &ldquo;One of the things we saw this Sunday was the infuriating behaviour of a foreign vlogger toward our fellow citizens. Whether he was joking or not, what Filipino wouldn&rsquo;t feel their blood boil watching that?&rdquo;
Deportation Only After Due Process
Once the local court cases are resolved, Zdorovetskiy is expected to be deported from the Philippines as an &ldquo;undesirable alien.&rdquo; However, complications remain. Both the United States and Russia have thus far declined to take custody of him, potentially prolonging his stay in the Philippines even after sentencing.
The BI reiterated that deportation cannot proceed until all legal matters are settled. Commissioner Viado made clear that hospitality must never be mistaken for tolerance of disrespect or illegal activity.
&ldquo;Foreign nationals are welcome in the Philippines&mdash;but they are expected to obey our laws and respect our communities. Those who choose otherwise must face the appropriate legal consequences,&rdquo; he said.
Until then, Zdorovetskiy remains behind bars in Muntinlupa with no bail, no release date, and a trial that could stretch on for months.

Byun Baekhyun is no stranger to the spotlight. Known for his mesmerising vocals, versatile artistry and magnetic stage presence, Baekhyun has spent over a decade building a legacy in the global music scene. He debuted in 2012 as a member of EXO, one of K-pop&rsquo;s most successful groups, and quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his distinctive voice and charismatic performances. He also performed as part of the sub-units EXO-CBX and EXO-K, and led the K-pop supergroup SuperM.
Baekhyun launched his solo career in 2019 with the mini album City Lights, which sold over 550,000 copies, becoming South Korea&rsquo;s best-selling solo album of that year. His next releases, Delight (2020) and Bambi (2021), both achieved million-seller status &mdash; with Delight being the first album by a South Korean soloist in nearly two decades to cross the million mark.

His global influence soared further with the release of Hello, World in 2024, which topped international charts and became the best-selling solo album by a K-pop artist that year with 1.4 million units sold. Baekhyun has received numerous accolades throughout his career, including three consecutive Mnet Asian Music Awards for Best Male Artist from 2019 to 2021, as well as honours from the Golden Disc Awards, Melon Music Awards, and Seoul Music Awards.
In 2023, he founded his own independent label, INB100, to gain greater creative freedom, while continuing his group activities with EXO under SM Entertainment.

Baekhyun’s Solo Tour Lands In Kuala Lumpur: Tickets Now On Sale For ‘Reverie’ World Tour

The tragic discovery of a 39-year-old schoolteacher&rsquo;s decomposed body in her Johor home has sparked widespread concern and prompted authorities to issue a public appeal for assistance in tracing her only known living relative. The woman, who had been absent from work since September last year, is believed to have died alone nearly a month prior to the discovery of her remains.
Alarming Smell Leads to Grim Discovery
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6e7915548b8e94674c3ad146ed6ef4a83bc1623b4c9634c92bcc9594b26830b7" />
On the evening of Thursday, 12 June, residents of Bandar Selesa Jaya in Skudai were alarmed by a strong foul smell emanating from a house in their neighbourhood. After days of tolerating the stench, one concerned neighbour finally lodged a police report at the Nusa Bestari Police Station at approximately 8:06pm.
Responding officers forced entry into the premises, where they were met with a harrowing scene: the lifeless, heavily decomposed body of a woman&mdash;later identified as Lo Kwan Fong, also known as Luo Qunfeng (transliteration)&mdash;was found inside the house.
According to Assistant Commissioner M. Kumarasan, the Iskandar Puteri District Police Chief, the victim is believed to have died about a month earlier. Early observations ruled out any signs of a struggle or forced entry.
No Foul Play Suspected, But Autopsy Inconclusive
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5e80775d729b95a4a8bd9414ea5aa0da57a1386ae5e209a8e31dec9b554fc709" />
A post-mortem examination was carried out at Hospital Sultanah Aminah (HSA) in Johor Bahru by forensic specialists. However, due to the advanced state of decomposition, the medical team was unable to determine the precise cause of death. The body had reportedly deteriorated to such an extent that internal indicators were no longer viable for a conclusive assessment.
&ldquo;The autopsy could not ascertain the cause of death. However, there were no signs of criminal activity, and we have classified this as a case of sudden death,&rdquo; said ACP Kumarasan.
This classification rules out foul play for now, though police have not entirely closed the file, pending any new leads or forensic insights.
Months of Absence and Increasing Isolation
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e8d33a24b9e99de5f89ea8602ccb1f31937e058044be4aef9499d381896d8901" />
Lo, a teacher at a school in Taman Tunku Aminah, had not reported for work since 24 September 2024. At first, her prolonged absence was met with concern from colleagues, especially given that she had always been punctual and professional. However, those closest to her say she became increasingly withdrawn in the months prior to her disappearance.
In February 2025, her colleagues paid her a visit at home. It was the last confirmed contact anyone had with her. Subsequent efforts to reach her, including further home visits and attempts to call, went unanswered. Neighbours also noted that they had not seen her in a long time, but it wasn&rsquo;t until the strong odour began to spread that authorities were contacted.
She led a quiet, solitary life. According to her colleagues, she was reserved and rarely spoke about her personal affairs. She had reportedly lost both parents before 2010, and it was believed she had no siblings. She never married and had no children.
The only relative she had ever mentioned was her maternal aunt, who had moved to Singapore many years ago. This aunt, now estimated to be around 74 years old, is presumed to be her only surviving family member. However, no direct contact information for the aunt is known, making the search more difficult.
Her colleagues, heartbroken by the manner in which she passed, have since appealed for public assistance in finding this relative so that Lo can be laid to rest by family, not strangers.
Funeral Plans On Hold As Search for Kin Continues
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ec5549f18262c423eb429b8cf353020b22b35e6a1a692b56844a06b1cc462969" />
Lo&rsquo;s body remains at the morgue while police and hospital authorities wait for her next of kin to come forward. Several kind-hearted members of the community have expressed willingness to help arrange a funeral service, but Lo&rsquo;s colleagues say they are holding out hope that a family member&mdash;particularly the aunt in Singapore&mdash;can be located.
&ldquo;Although people have come forward to help with her final rites, we truly hope her relative can be found to give her the proper farewell she deserves,&rdquo; said one co-worker. &ldquo;No one should have to die and be buried alone, especially someone who contributed to shaping the lives of young students.&rdquo;
Police and Public Appeal for Information
Authorities are now actively tracing Lo&rsquo;s family and have issued a public call for anyone with information to assist. Those who may have known Lo&rsquo;s family background or her late mother&rsquo;s connections in Singapore are urged to come forward.
The public can contact the Skudai Police Station at 07-511 2622 to provide leads.
A Tragic Reflection of Urban Isolation
The case has prompted reflection on broader social issues such as urban loneliness and the vulnerability of individuals living alone, especially those with few close contacts or support networks. Social media users have expressed sorrow and frustration, questioning how a person could go unnoticed for so long in a densely populated community.
&ldquo;Her absence from school for months should&rsquo;ve raised alarms sooner,&rdquo; one commenter wrote. &ldquo;We all need to look out for each other&mdash;especially those who live alone and keep to themselves.&rdquo;
As tributes pour in for the late teacher, many have called on communities to be more proactive in checking on vulnerable neighbours and friends. Some former students have come forward on social media to describe her as &ldquo;soft-spoken but dedicated,&rdquo; adding a poignant human face to what otherwise might have been just another forgotten tragedy.

Colleagues & police seek next of kin in S’pore to claim her body from the morgue.
