In reports by China Press and Sin Chew Daily, the Kajang Deputy District Police Chief confirmed the discovery of Yong’s body in the Pantai Remis area, and the family of the victim has been informed about the matter.
However, since Yong’s body was discovered in Kuala Selangor, PDRM from the district will take over the case and they are expected to issue a statement soon.
Yong’s body was found in the area around 7 AM this morning (February 4).

In an official statement by PDRM in Kuala Selangor, the police said they received a report about the matter at 2 AM by a policeman on patrol, who found Yong’s body inside a Proton Saga at the parking lot. The car doors were locked and had to be pried open by a BOMBA team.
As of now, police found no criminal elements relating to her death and the case has been classified as sudden death. The body has also been sent for autopsy.
