Chinese tourist who didn't have money for return ticket arrested for entering KLIA departure area

A Chinese national was arrested on Saturday (May 16) after she allegedly entered a restricted area at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) without a valid flight ticket and behaved aggressively towards security officers.

In a statement on May 17, KLIA police said the incident took place at the Terminal 1 International Departure Gate C at about 1.35pm. 

A video circulating on Threads shows the woman struggling with officers and screaming while being restrained. At one point, several female officers were seen carrying her away after she went limp on the floor.

The woman then attempts to crawl away while repeatedly shouting in Mandarin, "Help me! I don't want to be here!"

According to the Threads post, the woman had allegedly jumped from the second floor prior to the incident.

She was arrested by auxiliary police officers at about 1.45pm, said KLIA police. 

KLIA police said in their statement that preliminary investigations revealed the suspect is a Chinese national who entered Malaysia on April 30 for a holiday with a friend, but she did not have enough money to buy a return ticket home. 

The suspect was brought before the Sepang Court on May 17 and is being remanded for further investigations under the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act. 

If found guilty of her offence under the Act, she faces a fine of up to RM1,000 (S$323) and/or up to two years' jail.

I met Perak man face to face last week.

And I went through a rabbit hole of mindblowing facts about Lenggong valley and prehistoric Malaysia. The fact that he lived around 10,000 years ago. He had a disability in one of his arms and that disability caused him to develop scoliosis, because overdepence of the other hand. Yet he lived until the age of 45 means he was cared and provided for by his community. He was given a proper ritualistic burial in a cave above ground, and buried together with animal and snail offerings and stone tools for his afterlife use. He must have been someone important at that time.

I came across another fact that there is also the existence of Perak woman, who was given similar burial in a different site, 2000 years after Perak man.

Also while digesting this facts, I also learnt that they also discovered an open air stone tools workshop, carbon dating to around 74,000 years ago. Almost 64,000 years before Perak man. Eruption of Toba volcano caused ash sedimentation at the site, preserving the workshop as it was left, 74,000 years ago.
