IT has been two months since a chair was flung from the upper floors of a low-cost flat in Kuala Lumpur, killing a 15-year-old boy, but his family is still being kept in the dark over the investigation into the case.

The victim, S. Sathiswaran, was killed instantly in the incident, and today, his father questioned why there was still no justice for his son.

K. Sathiasilan said police had not visited the family to update them on the investigation.

“I had to go to the Pantai police station to ask them about the case. Even today, I sent them a WhatsApp message,” he told The Malaysian Insight.

“I wonder what’s taking the police so long to find the culprit. I hope they will find the culprit soon.”

On January 15, Sathiswaran, a student of La Salle Brickfields in Kuala Lumpur, was on the ground floor of the People’s Housing Project (PPR) Seri Pantai flats in Pantai Dalam with his mother when a chair was thrown from the upper floors of the 21-storey block.

Earlier, Sathiasilan witnessed the launch of the S. Sathiswaran scholarship fund, an initiative by PKR, at PPR Seri Pantai.

“(PKR vice-president) Nurul Izzah Anwar and (PKR communications director) Fahmi Fadzil have been visiting us since the tragedy and I am very grateful,” he said.

He, however, said that despite his son’s death, people were still throwing items from the upper floors of the low-cost flat.

“Nothing has changed. The other day, someone threw a glass bottle. Fortunately, nobody was hurt,” he said.

Meanwhile, Fahmi said the scholarship fund was a crowd-funding project that aimed to raise RM100,000 for children living in PPRs.

“We started it in Lembah Pantai and will expand it as the fund increases,” he said.

Fahmi said they had collected more than RM1,000 since the launch of the website last night. – March 3, 2018.
