Masked assailants attack reflexology centre manager for ‘sacking worker’


REVENGE ATTACK: The manager at the Sarawak General Hospital following the incident.


KUCHING: A reflexology centre manager suffered cuts to two fingers on his right hand after he was attacked by three masked individuals in a suspected revenge attack yesterday.

The 60-something victim, a Chinese national, said the incident happened around 1.15am shortly after he started his night shift duty at the reflexology centre at Tabuan Road.

He said three masked men suddenly smashed the glass front door before bursting inside and rushing towards the front counter where he was seated.

One of them then swung a machete at his head, forcing him to deflect the blow with his hand while shouting to his workers for help.

As workers and several customers at the centre came to his aid, the masked attackers ran out the shop and fled the scene in a Perodua Viva.

When asked what the motive of the attack was, the manager said he believed it was a revenge attack in relation to him sacking one of his employees about two months ago.

He said the employee in question- a woman from China- was angry at him for firing her and had warned him then ‘to be careful’.

Following the incident, the victim sought treatment at the Sarawak General Hospital for cuts to two of his fingers on his right hand.
