Woman stabbed in Genting
AFTER a lucky streak at the gaming tables in Genting Highlands, things went badly south for a Singaporean who was stabbed in the back outside her hotel room.
Madam Teng Soon Moey, 56, was rushed to a Kuala Lumpur hospital with a knife lodged 5cm deep in her back.
Doctors said the blade had narrowly missed her spine and heart.
The New Paper reported that Madam Teng, who was on a short holiday in the hill resort with seven friends, checked into the First World Hotel last Tuesday.
She headed for the casino immediately and got into a winning streak, making almost $5,000.
At about 7am on Thursday, after playing roulette through the night and losing some of her winnings, she called it quits and made her way to her hotel room.
She paid no heed to a woman who entered the lift with her and followed her as she walked out the elevator and headed to her room.
As Madam Teng, who did not have her room key with her, knocked on the door to her room, she heard a noise and felt a tug on her handbag, which she had slung over her shoulder.
It was then that she realised she had been stabbed.
Her screams brought her friends out of their rooms on that floor.
