Malaysian police have confirmed that the decomposed body found at a construction site in Bangsar is that of Jordan Michael John Johnson-Doyle, a 25-year-old British software engineer who had been reported missing since 2 June.

The discovery was made during a search operation on 4 June, at a partially completed condominium along Lorong Maarof. The search was initiated after Johnson-Doyle&rsquo;s movements were traced to the area. Over 30 officers took part in combing the site, and at approximately 5pm, a body was found face-down in a partially submerged lift shaft at one of the still-under-construction blocks.
Tattoo Identification and Autopsy Results

Kuala Lumpur police chief Commissioner Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa confirmed that the body had been positively identified by Johnson-Doyle&rsquo;s uncle, based on a distinctive tattoo. A post-mortem conducted at University Malaya Medical Centre revealed that the cause of death was a chest injury sustained from a fall from height.
&ldquo;There were no signs of foul play or criminal elements at the scene,&rdquo; said Rusdi. &ldquo;The case has been classified as a sudden death.&rdquo;
The body, which was discovered with most of its clothing removed, was recovered at around 9.30pm on the day of the search and taken for forensic examination.
Last Known Movements Before Disappearance
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/50f12414bc279a3011361942bbe8db690764d0adea88f56a65dacd29d23be876" />
Johnson-Doyle had been on a solo backpacking trip across Southeast Asia while working remotely for a United States-based tech company. He had arrived in Malaysia from Vietnam on 17 May and was believed to be staying at Robertson Residences in Bukit Bintang during his time in Kuala Lumpur.
His last known contact was on the night of 27 May, when he was seen attending a quiz night at Healy Mac&rsquo;s Irish Bar in Bangsar. He had sent a photograph from the bar to a friend, but after that, his phone went silent and his social media activity abruptly stopped. Concerned family members, unable to reach him, reported his disappearance to the authorities.
Staff at the bar confirmed his attendance that evening, but were unable to provide further details about his departure or movements afterward.
Public Urged Not to Speculate
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ad67327d921adfe715dd3fa01f06264365d3eb587cf1177a706e19ec88ae31fd" />
Commissioner Rusdi advised the public to refrain from speculation regarding the circumstances of Johnson-Doyle&rsquo;s death and urged anyone with additional information to come forward to assist the investigation.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances that led to the fatal fall. While the possibility of an accidental fall into the elevator shaft remains the leading theory, officers have stated that all avenues will be examined thoroughly.
The case has drawn significant media attention both locally and in the United Kingdom, where outlets such as the Daily Mail reported on the young man&rsquo;s disappearance and the eventual discovery of his body.

Malaysian K-pop fans have more to look forward to this year as rising boy group 82MAJOR (에이티투메이저) is officially set to return to Kuala Lumpur for their first full concert. After creating a buzz earlier this year with their fan meeting and press conference, the group is now scheduled to perform live on a much bigger scale &mdash; and the excitement is palpable among fans.
Back in February 2025, 82MAJOR visited Malaysia for the first time, holding a warm and intimate fan event at SEGi University in Kota Damansara. The event gave Malaysian fans their first close-up interaction with the members, who left a lasting impression with their stage presence, energy, and charm. The visit also included a press conference at Pavilion KL, which further boosted their local profile.
Who Are 82MAJOR?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/39703932d40cb647afdee1962a86445288e2efe2ae95ed1d098c58efafe88976" />
Emerging as one of the most promising new acts in K-pop, 82MAJOR is a six-member boy group under Great M Entertainment, officially debuting in October 2023. The group consists of charismatic members: Jungseok, Chanhyeok, Seokjun, Donghyeon, Yunho, and Yechan&mdash;each bringing distinct vocal tones, dance styles, and personalities to the group&rsquo;s growing appeal.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yhe0QukH4QE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Their debut single &ldquo;FIRST CLASS&rdquo; made an immediate impact with its bold concept and gritty hip-hop energy, setting them apart from more conventional rookie debuts. The track showcased their confidence, swagger, and tight choreography, earning them attention from both local fans and international audiences.
What&rsquo;s notable about 82MAJOR is their raw edge and performance-driven style, which taps into a global Gen Z audience hungry for authenticity and bold self-expression. The group has since released follow-up tracks like &ldquo;Sure Thing&rdquo; and &ldquo;Get it Hot&rdquo;, reinforcing their sound identity and stage charisma.
While still early in their career, 82MAJOR has been featured in several "Rookie to Watch" lists by Korean media outlets and are beginning to gain traction across social media and global K-pop platforms. Their potential for growth, combined with a fresh sound and striking visuals, positions them as a group to watch in the next wave of K-pop talent.
Following Their North American Success
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ebad64acaf013d14724353149de654d699243e39952a478611617f1a92bd63ba" />
82MAJOR has had a packed schedule in 2025, particularly with their &ldquo;82 SYNDROME&rdquo; North American tour, which began in May and covered 25 cities across the United States and Canada. The tour has played a major role in expanding their international reach, drawing in new fans with their powerful performances, captivating choreography, and on-stage charisma.
Their final North American performance will be held in Los Angeles on 19 July, marking the end of a two-month tour across major cities. After a brief break to recharge, the group is expected to begin preparations for their Asia tour, with Malaysia already locked in as one of the confirmed destinations.
Although a full list of Asia tour stops has not been officially released, Malaysian fans can rest assured knowing Kuala Lumpur is already on the schedule.
Concert Information &ndash; What We Know So Far
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0cc39f5315ac7d890ed33cdc536ea62cf96f51005f6d681a3be440832c4d1762" />

Fan Anticipation at an All-Time High

For many MAJORs, this is the long-awaited opportunity to see the boys in their element &mdash; delivering a concert that reflects their musical growth, stage confidence, and group chemistry.
Social media has already begun buzzing with fan reactions, and hashtags related to the concert are steadily gaining traction among Malaysian K-pop communities.
New Music Hints and Rising Popularity
As the countdown to their Kuala Lumpur concert begins, fans are eagerly speculating about a possible comeback from 82MAJOR in the lead-up to October. With their North American tour wrapping up and their fanbase expanding rapidly across Asia, many anticipate the release of new material, potentially an EP or a special single designed for the Asian leg of their tour.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bY2JgNSFEG0" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In the meantime, fans can enjoy the group&rsquo;s latest release, &ldquo;TAKEOVER&rdquo;, a high-energy track that highlights 82MAJOR&rsquo;s refined production style, strong choreography, and distinctive vocal sound. The song has steadily gained traction online, with streaming numbers and YouTube views continuing to climb, boosted by the group&rsquo;s recent international exposure.
Should new music be released before October, Malaysian fans may be among the first to experience it live, adding an extra layer of excitement to what is already shaping up to be a major milestone for both the group and their local supporters. Whether or not a new comeback arrives in time, one thing is certain: 82MAJOR&rsquo;s Kuala Lumpur concert promises to be a must-see event.
Stay Tuned for More Updates
As anticipation builds, fans can expect more updates in the coming weeks &mdash; including ticketing tiers, fan benefits, and possible meet-and-greet packages. With 82MAJOR continuing to gain momentum globally, this concert is shaping up to be one of the most memorable K-pop events in Malaysia this year.
Mark your calendars for 4 October 2025, and get ready to chant, dance, and sing your heart out with 82MAJOR in Kuala Lumpur.

82MAJOR Are Returning To KL For Their First Full Concert In October!

The United States will impose a sweeping 25% tariff on all Malaysian products entering the country from 1 August 2025. The move, announced by former US President Donald J. Trump in an official letter dated 7 July to both Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, signals a significant escalation in US-Malaysia trade relations.
Trump cited longstanding grievances over Malaysia&rsquo;s trade practices, specifically &ldquo;tariff, non-tariff policies and trade barriers&rdquo; that he claims have created an &ldquo;unsustainable&rdquo; trade deficit. The letter, also posted on his Truth Social platform, reflects the former president&rsquo;s familiar stance on rebalancing trade ties with US partners.
&ldquo;Relationship Has Been Far From Reciprocal&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2958ae1ab385de2c25ee5e30e0936366f1c080ab474a39507054532bc9a99b8c" />
In the letter, Trump acknowledged the longstanding economic partnership between the two countries but insisted it had been one-sided.
&ldquo;We have had years to discuss our trading relationship with Malaysia,&rdquo; he wrote, &ldquo;and have concluded that we must move away from these long term, and very persistent trade deficits engendered by Malaysia&rsquo;s tariff and non-tariff policies.&rdquo;
The blanket 25% tariff will be imposed across all sectors, separate from any existing sectoral tariffs. These include additional levies&mdash;25% on automotive exports and up to 50% on steel and aluminium products&mdash;affecting manufacturing-heavy countries in the region.
No Tariff for US-Based Manufacturing
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fa1043982fa099d07eebbdb7887243953f2e8292773e3749af89270009023381" />
To soften the blow, Trump offered Malaysian companies an alternative: relocate manufacturing operations to the United States. He pledged that products made within US borders would be exempt from the new tariff.
&ldquo;There will be no tariff if Malaysia, or companies within your country, decide to build or manufacture products within the United States,&rdquo; he said, adding that his administration would facilitate swift approvals &ldquo;in a matter of weeks.&rdquo;
Warning Against Retaliation and Transshipping
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/aa36b7c613ec04b72bbd241ed96a996d6315fabf8cd11a06913886e3a694d020" />
Trump further warned that any attempt by Malaysia to retaliate with higher tariffs on US imports would be met with an equivalent increase on top of the existing 25% rate.
&ldquo;If, for any reason, you decide to raise your tariffs, then whatever number you choose will be added onto the 25% we charge,&rdquo; he declared.
Additionally, goods transshipped from or through Malaysia to avoid higher tariffs will also be taxed at the highest applicable rate. This measure is in line with Washington&rsquo;s broader clampdown on transshipments&mdash;especially from China&mdash;via third countries in Southeast Asia.
The tariff rate, initially announced as 24% in April under Trump&rsquo;s &ldquo;Liberation Day Tariffs&rdquo; package targeting 49 countries, was temporarily paused for 90 days to allow for negotiations. Malaysia held formal trade talks in Washington from 18&ndash;20 June and had expressed hope for concessions, particularly for its electronics and export manufacturing sectors.
However, with talks yielding little progress, Trump extended the pause by three weeks before increasing the tariff rate by one point to 25%.
Part of Wider Regional Clampdown
Malaysia is not alone in facing higher US import duties. Japan and South Korea were also notified of a 25% tariff, while Indonesia faces a 32% rate, Thailand 36%, and Laos and Myanmar 40%&mdash;down from Trump&rsquo;s earlier April figures. Cambodia, meanwhile, saw its proposed tariff reduced from 49% to 36%.
Notably, Malaysia&rsquo;s inclusion alongside close US allies Japan and South Korea was seen by some as a sign of parity, albeit a painful one.
&ldquo;We are in the same club,&rdquo; one senior Malaysian trade official remarked anonymously, &ldquo;but we expected some reduction&mdash;not a hike.&rdquo;
Market Concerns and Economic Impact
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3fb94d6cf87b7b7cbd57ec7539443172e968ec3f152da94b937bfc160d9694f7" />
The new tariff comes as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio prepares for his first official visit to Malaysia during the ASEAN Foreign Ministers&rsquo; Meeting. His arrival is expected to bring further diplomatic dialogue, although the tone has already been set by Trump&rsquo;s announcement.
Experts have warned of broader economic implications. &ldquo;A 25% tariff will have a major impact on exports including in-demand items like autos and semiconductors,&rdquo; said William Alan Reinsch of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies. &ldquo;It means higher prices in the US and slower economies in affected countries.&rdquo;
Trump&rsquo;s Unpredictable Trade Playbook
Trump&rsquo;s move follows a familiar pattern&mdash;announce a tariff, offer a deadline, and extend it if needed. With the 1 August deadline looming, many wonder whether another delay is in store&mdash;or if this time, the tariffs will truly take effect.
Wendy Cutler, former US trade negotiator, said the timing may still allow room for breakthroughs. &ldquo;While the news is disappointing, it doesn&rsquo;t mean the game is over,&rdquo; she noted, pointing out that last-minute deals, like the one recently struck with Vietnam, could still emerge.
Malaysia&rsquo;s Next Move
As of now, Putrajaya has yet to issue an official response to the new 25% tariff. However, trade officials say negotiations will continue. Malaysia remains hopeful that diplomacy can still bring relief to its crucial export sectors and mitigate the blow to its economy.
Until then, businesses and exporters brace for impact&mdash;while watching closely whether Trump&rsquo;s tariff ultimatum holds firm or shifts once more.

Trump Imposes 25% Tariff On Malaysian Goods Amid Escalating Trade Tensions

A group of over 30 cyclists has triggered widespread backlash after sharing a video online depicting a confrontation with a RapidKL bus driver along Jalan Bestari, Kuala Selangor. The incident, which took place on the morning of Sunday, 6 July, was initially intended to expose what the cyclists described as dangerous and aggressive driving. Instead, it drew unexpected public sympathy for the bus driver and ignited a broader debate about road etiquette in Malaysia.
Cyclists Accuse Driver of Reckless Behaviour
&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmohdamirulaizad3899%2Fvideos%2F1855646568341630%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=265&amp;t=0" width="265" height="591" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In the viral video, the cyclists alleged they were riding safely on the left-most lane of the road when the bus driver approached at high speed and allegedly swerved dangerously close to their formation. According to one of the cyclists who posted on TikTok under the username @spaceramenn, &ldquo;He almost hit our cyclists while the right lane was empty. He could&rsquo;ve just moved to the right lane for a few seconds.&rdquo;
The group claimed the incident wasn&rsquo;t isolated. They accused the driver of having behaved similarly earlier that morning, suggesting a pattern of intimidation. Matters escalated when the bus came to a halt, and the driver exited the vehicle to confront the cyclists directly. According to their post, the driver attempted to physically assault one of them, kicking at a cyclist during the roadside argument.
Public Shaming Backfires: Personal Info Shared Online
In what appeared to be an attempt to seek public support and prompt disciplinary action, the cyclists shared the driver&rsquo;s full name, bus registration plate, and employee ID on social media platforms. However, their efforts backfired. Rather than drawing outrage towards the driver, the post unleashed a wave of criticism against the cyclists themselves.
Many Malaysians took issue with the decision to publicly doxx the driver, pointing out that he appeared calm and collected in the video, even when surrounded by a large, agitated group. The release of personal information without due process also raised concerns about online harassment and trial by social media.
JPJ Intervenes and Defuses the Situation
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/24da9296121450e449c634ebca9d6be4595ec96d7b7f1569e2b36f437c2f40dd" />
As luck&mdash;or misfortune&mdash;would have it, the confrontation took place not far from a Road Transport Department (JPJ) office. Officers who happened to be nearby responded promptly and de-escalated the situation. They separated both parties and provided guidance, reminding the cyclists to remain on the far-left side of the road for their own safety.
According to the cyclists, they insisted they had already been doing so. However, video footage and witness commentary suggested that several riders were cycling side-by-side, taking up more space than advisable and potentially obstructing traffic.
Netizens Side with the Bus Driver
Public sentiment online quickly leaned in favour of the bus driver. Social media users commented in droves, with many expressing frustration about the behaviour of large cycling groups on Malaysian roads. &ldquo;Hundreds of comments flooded the post&mdash;and nearly all of them defended the bus driver,&rdquo; one observer noted.
A particularly popular comment summed up the sentiment: &ldquo;We criticise kids on &lsquo;basikal lajak&rsquo; for being reckless on roads, but now adults are setting the same poor example.&rdquo; Others pointed out the professionalism displayed by the driver, who didn&rsquo;t retaliate aggressively despite being provoked.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a92c48025ec39b283721dedccd2afff395da1407f9440957eebc7ed8b68cc8a0" />
Wider Debate on Cycling Etiquette Resurfaces
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e551aff892d85e2e1fd0650c8e8c107a0471841072faf3bf1d4592521edf05b6" />
The incident has reignited discussions about road-sharing norms, particularly when it comes to cyclists using public roads. Although cyclists are legally allowed to use the roads, their presence&mdash;especially in large numbers&mdash;often leads to tension with motorists.
Some users argued that cycling in large groups during peak hours or on busy roads can be dangerous not only for the cyclists themselves but for others as well. The lack of dedicated cycling infrastructure in many parts of Malaysia has only added to the problem, forcing cyclists and vehicles to compete for limited space.
Calls for Road Safety Reform and Public Awareness
In the wake of the backlash, many have called for the government and relevant authorities to take a more proactive stance. Suggestions include introducing clearer cycling regulations, investing in dedicated bicycle lanes, and launching public campaigns on shared road responsibilities.
&ldquo;Cyclists want respect, but that comes with responsibility,&rdquo; one commenter wrote. &ldquo;If you&rsquo;re holding up traffic and causing a hazard, you should expect some level of pushback.&rdquo;
Others proposed that both motorists and cyclists receive regular awareness training to foster better mutual understanding and reduce road rage incidents.
Lessons from the Digital Age: When Going Viral Backfires
This episode offers a cautionary tale about the double-edged nature of social media. What the cyclists may have intended as a public appeal for justice turned into an unexpected referendum on their own behaviour. The very footage they hoped would support their claims ended up undermining them.
In the age of instant virality, public opinion can be swift and unforgiving. It serves as a reminder that accountability and context matter&mdash;both in how we act on the road and how we represent ourselves online.

Cyclists Slammed By Public After Confrontation With RapidKL Bus Driver In Kuala Selangor

A Disturbing First in Online Safety Prosecution
In a landmark legal case under the United Kingdom's new Online Safety Act 2023, 23-year-old Tyler Webb, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, has become the first person in the country to be convicted of encouraging serious self-harm online. He was sentenced to nine years and four months in custody under a hybrid order, which will see him detained in a secure mental health facility before potentially serving the rest of his sentence in prison.
The charges were brought after Webb relentlessly encouraged a vulnerable 21-year-old woman to harm herself for his own sexual gratification, eventually urging her to attempt suicide during a video call. His actions were described in court as "calculated psychological violence".
Grooming and Psychological Coercion
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7be96f7ac1f388a1a2a31b7db5ce529cb7e137cde57acd0a07b4c776349bee8d" />
Webb met his victim in June 2024 via an online support forum for mental health issues, where she was seeking help. After establishing contact, he persuaded her to move their conversations to the encrypted Telegram messaging app, where the abuse escalated.
Over a period of six weeks, Webb groomed the woman, gradually manipulating her into self-harming and then into attempting suicide. Prosecutors revealed that he would instruct her how to harm herself and demanded she send photos of her injuries, which he used for sexual pleasure. He became agitated when she self-harmed without his prompting, as it meant he couldn't witness or control the act.
In one especially harrowing incident on 2 July 2024, Webb persuaded her to attempt suicide via a 44-minute video call. She passed out during the attempt, but survived. Upon regaining consciousness, Webb coldly instructed her to try again.
Victim&rsquo;s Bravery and Pain
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/51de215952f50354892e3feba71869e7ad2cb87b8eebb4c93e7bcc85b739d25c" />
The victim courageously reported the incident to police the following day. Her evidence &ndash; including audio recordings, screenshots, and photographs &ndash; formed the backbone of the prosecution case. She later admitted she felt guilty for getting him in trouble and listened to the audio again, only to realise the severity of his manipulation. Tragically, she attempted suicide again after listening to the recording.
In a powerful victim impact statement read in court, she said:
"He tried to kill me, not with his hands, but with his words... What Tyler did was not a mistake. It was calculated psychological violence."
She added:
"There will never be another second on this Earth where I don't have to live with the pain of what happened."
Legal Milestone Under the Online Safety Act
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/48fdab88645448b1f833f0ec480d1f48b53a3f2f6d8269d0c61855c9294dd2df" />
Webb&rsquo;s conviction under Section 184 of the Online Safety Act 2023 marks a historic first for this new legislation, which criminalises encouraging serious self-harm online. Although encouraging suicide has been an offence since 1961, this newer section addresses the rise of online abuse in the digital age.
Alex Johnson, from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), called it a "watershed prosecution" and warned that others have already been charged under the same law. He praised the victim's bravery, adding:
"If she had not come forward, Webb would have remained at liberty and free to target other vulnerable people online."
During sentencing at Leicester Crown Court on 4 July 2025, Webb appeared visibly distressed, at one point lying on the floor as a coping mechanism. His defence counsel, Joey Kwong, revealed that Webb had long suffered from autism spectrum disorder, borderline personality disorder, and depression.
Despite these conditions, the court was clear that his actions were deliberate and dangerous. The judge concluded that Webb was manipulative, sexually motivated, and posed a significant risk to others. He will remain in a mental health facility until deemed fit for release, at which point he will serve the rest of his sentence in prison.
Police and Public Reaction
Detective Constable Lauren Hampton, who led the investigation, described the case as one of the most distressing in her career. She said:
"Webb preyed upon a vulnerable woman at a time when she was reaching out for help and support. His vile requests were calculated and deliberate, and he knew they could result in her death."
She praised the victim for her extraordinary courage, adding:
"Her actions have undoubtedly safeguarded others."
This case has sparked widespread attention and debate, not only due to the horrifying nature of the offence, but also because it represents a significant turning point in the prosecution of digital harm. It stands as a stark warning that the Online Safety Act has teeth&mdash;and will be used to pursue justice for victims of online abuse.

UK Man Sentenced To 9 Years In Prison For Encouraging Woman To Kill Herself Via Social Media

A Malaysian mother has publicly expressed her heartfelt appreciation to AirAsia&rsquo;s cabin crew and ground staff after her one-year-old daughter experienced a sudden medical emergency onboard a flight from Guangzhou to Kuala Lumpur. The incident occurred on Flight AK115, which departed at 5:55am on 4 July 2026.
In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JacyDAparislover/posts/pfbid028wFqNZfLjVMsc3dW3cQvWUTwwg4str8jKLPrn8W3pcedwu9nuTzzD8UhCGX3GGHBl">Facebook</a> post shared on Saturday, 5 July, mother Jacyntha Florentius recounted the frightening ordeal involving her daughter, Natashya Sofea. Initially, the flight was smooth and uneventful. Natashya had slept for most of the journey until she awoke about 90 minutes after takeoff to breastfeed &mdash; but soon after, things took a dramatic turn.
A Sudden Decline in Health at 30,000 Feet
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/be496f8f19523867851104b3d8adc0e9ec9ab70b7d1c6424f484aa35262ed48e" />
Jacyntha recalled how her daughter suddenly became unwell and unresponsive. Natashya grew pale, her lips lost colour, and she appeared weak and lethargic &mdash; symptoms that deeply alarmed the mother.
&ldquo;She was crying one moment, then eerily quiet the next. Her face and lips turned pale, and she looked like she was struggling to breathe,&rdquo; she wrote.
Acting quickly, Jacyntha tried to stimulate her daughter by patting her back and rubbing her limbs, while immediately alerting the cabin crew for help. The staff promptly provided oxygen support, and to the mother&rsquo;s relief, Natashya&rsquo;s condition began to improve &mdash; her breathing steadied, and colour slowly returned to her lips.
Crew Actions and Doctor Onboard Make All the Difference
Recognising the seriousness of the situation, the flight crew made a public announcement asking if there was a doctor onboard. Thankfully, a passenger with medical expertise responded and assisted in monitoring Natashya&rsquo;s vital signs.
Simultaneously, the crew communicated with the flight deck, and the pilot made the decision to lower the aircraft&rsquo;s altitude to aid the baby&rsquo;s breathing. Despite the baby stabilising, the captain opted to divert the flight to Ho Chi Minh City for urgent medical intervention.
&ldquo;During the 30-minute descent, the crew kept checking on her, massaging her hands and feet, and monitoring her pulse. They were incredibly attentive and caring,&rdquo; said Jacyntha.
Emergency Landing and Immediate Medical Attention
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fed0239eecb21a789832fab5117799839e6c9e30e0d97656f27c0b3353046b0d" />
&nbsp;Upon landing, a medical response team was already on standby at the airport. Paramedics boarded the plane to assess Natashya before escorting the mother and child to a nearby hospital by ambulance. AirAsia also ensured that their luggage was offloaded promptly, allowing the family to leave without delay.
At the hospital, Natashya underwent a series of tests &mdash; including an ECG, echocardiogram, and X-ray &mdash; with no waiting time. The examinations were completed within an hour, and her condition was stabilised.
Above and Beyond: Complimentary Flight and Continued Support
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/40a853df56499f41a8540234b3ddcd071a0a5c61f3b7408bf4850640dbea8c71" />
As a gesture of compassion and to ease the family&rsquo;s distress, AirAsia provided complimentary tickets for Jacyntha and her daughter to return safely to Kuala Lumpur.
The mother explained that Natashya had likely experienced a rare case of altitude-related sickness during the flight. She also expressed hope that the seven AirAsia crew members involved in the emergency would receive formal recognition for their professionalism and quick thinking.
Her post has since gone viral, receiving over 40,000 shares, with netizens praising the airline for its exemplary crisis response.
&ldquo;I will never forget the kindness and care shown by the crew and ground staff,&rdquo; Jacyntha wrote. &ldquo;They handled the situation with calm, speed, and genuine concern &mdash; and for that, I am forever grateful.&rdquo;
A Lesson in Compassion and Preparedness
This heartwarming incident has struck a chord with many online, serving as a powerful reminder of the importance of well-trained airline staff and compassionate customer care. It also highlights how swift action, teamwork, and empathy can make all the difference in a high-stress situation.
AirAsia has yet to issue a formal statement, but the overwhelming public response speaks volumes about the professionalism displayed by its crew on that fateful morning.
Credit must go to the AirAsia crew of Flight AK115 for their swift, composed, and compassionate response in the face of a medical emergency. Their actions not only helped save a young life, but also reminded many of the vital role flight attendants and airline staff play &mdash; far beyond serving meals or giving safety demonstrations.
And it&rsquo;s not just about this one flight. This story serves as a tribute to all flight crews around the world, who work tirelessly and often under immense pressure, thousands of feet above ground, to ensure the safety and comfort of every passenger. Their job isn&rsquo;t easy, and moments like this show just how essential &mdash; and heroic &mdash; they truly are.

Mother Praises AirAsia Crew’s Swift Action During Baby’s Mid-Flight Medical Emergency

After weeks of speculation and cryptic teasers, it&rsquo;s now official &mdash; My Chemical Romance (MCR) is making their long-awaited return to Malaysia in 2026 as part of their global tour, &ldquo;Long Live The Black Parade.&rdquo; The American rock band confirmed the news on 7 July 2025, sending fans into a frenzy across social media.
The band is set to perform at Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on 30 April 2026 (Thursday), marking their first show in Malaysia since December 2007, when they played a rain-soaked, emotionally charged gig at Stadium Merdeka as part of The Black Parade Tour.
For many fans, that night became an unforgettable memory &mdash; drenched in rain, screaming along to Welcome to the Black Parade and Helena, eyeliner running, but spirits high. Now, almost two decades later, the band is returning &mdash; and Malaysian fans are more than ready.
Who Are My Chemical Romance?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fd86a9440c7a1400977be667cc2ae940bb39902f9abcc4081a93d302eb7ec5e7" />
Formed in New Jersey in 2001, My Chemical Romance (MCR) rose to become one of the most influential rock bands of the 2000s, known for their theatrical style, emotionally charged lyrics, and genre-defining contributions to emo and alternative rock. The original lineup included Gerard Way (lead vocals), Mikey Way (bass), Ray Toro (lead guitar), Frank Iero (rhythm guitar), and Matt Pelissier (drums), who was later replaced by Bob Bryar in 2004.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RRKJiM9Njr8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
MCR broke into the mainstream with their 2004 album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, featuring iconic tracks like &ldquo;Helena&rdquo;, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m Not Okay (I Promise)&rdquo;, and &ldquo;The Ghost of You&rdquo;. Their magnum opus came in 2006 with The Black Parade, a concept album that delivered anthem after anthem, including the epic &ldquo;Welcome to the Black Parade&rdquo;, &ldquo;Famous Last Words&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Teenagers&rdquo;&mdash;solidifying their status as rock legends.
The band disbanded in 2013 to the heartbreak of fans worldwide but reunited in 2019, kicking off a long-awaited global comeback tour. Their influence continues to resonate with both longtime listeners and a new generation discovering their music through social media and pop culture.

Tragically, former drummer Bob Bryar, who played a key role during the band&rsquo;s peak years, passed away in March 2024. His contributions to The Black Parade and countless live performances left an enduring legacy within the band and the broader rock scene.
My Chemical Romance has received numerous accolades, including MTV Music Awards, Kerrang! Awards, and NME Awards, and was named one of Rolling Stone&rsquo;s top emo bands of all time. Their impact on fashion, fandom culture, and emotional expression in music has made them more than just a band&mdash;they&rsquo;re a cultural movement.
Part of a Larger Asian Tour
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f3bdbe217ef9c19d7c44d2b93d2a79924752418fdf6bee2959d92e0b837e7dee" />
The Kuala Lumpur stop is part of MCR&rsquo;s wider Southeast Asian leg of the tour, which begins in April 2026 following shows in North and Latin America. The confirmed tour dates in Asia are as follows:
<ul>
<li>18 April 2026 &ndash; Incheon, South Korea (Paradise City Culture Park)</li>
<li>22 April 2026 &ndash; Bangkok, Thailand (IMPACT Challenger Hall)</li>

<li>28 April 2026 &ndash; Singapore (Indoor Stadium)</li>
<li>30 April 2026 &ndash; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Bukit Jalil National Stadium)</li>
<li>3 May 2026 &ndash; Jakarta, Indonesia (Hammersonic Festival)</li>
</ul>
This tour marks a continuation of MCR&rsquo;s global comeback following their 2019 reunion. The Long Live The Black Parade tour is expected to showcase a mix of their iconic anthems and newer material, promising fans a nostalgic and emotional night.
Viral Teasers and Fan Anticipation
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/886f83bc71acc0c994b2910350300fe0defbb18a88dc06ee3608de1abab2cd83" />
Hints of the band&rsquo;s return first emerged in recent months, with mysterious MCR-themed billboards appearing around Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley. The visual campaign quickly went viral, triggering widespread speculation among fans. Fuel was added to the fire when Warner Music Malaysia posted a series of MCR-related videos on their social media accounts.
These teasers sparked hope among the Malaysian fanbase, and now that the date is confirmed, excitement has reached fever pitch. The band officially shared the announcement via their social media platforms on Monday morning, solidifying Kuala Lumpur as one of their key stops in Asia.
What We Know So Far
The details for the Kuala Lumpur concert are still unfolding. Here&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s been confirmed so far:
My Chemical Romance &ndash; Long Live The Black Parade Tour
<ul>
<li>Date: 30 April 2026 (Thursday)</li>
<li>Venue: National Stadium Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur</li>
<li>Time: To be announced</li>

</ul>
Fans are encouraged to keep an eye on MCR&rsquo;s official channels and local event partners for ticket sales, seat maps, and pricing, which are expected to be released soon.
From Stadium Merdeka to Bukit Jalil: A New Chapter
It&rsquo;s been 18 long years since the band last graced a Malaysian stage, but the emotional connection between MCR and their fans has remained strong. The 2007 performance at Stadium Merdeka drew over 10,000 fans despite the rain, solidifying their place in the hearts of local alternative rock lovers.
Now, MCR&rsquo;s return to Malaysia&rsquo;s biggest stadium &mdash; Bukit Jalil &mdash; is set to be one of the most highly anticipated rock events of 2026.
So if you've been waiting patiently since your teenage years, it&rsquo;s time to dust off that faded MCR tee, rewatch the Welcome to the Black Parade music video, and emotionally prepare for the opening piano notes that still hit just as hard.
