Part A. News Clip 1. A fire broke out at a sauna at the Popular Mall in the heart of the capital city on Tuesday evening. The Fire and Rescue Department said the incidents occurred at about 5.20pm. Two fire engines and 13 firemen from the Jalantun Razak and Titiwangsa fire stations were dispatched and found that a sauna on the ground floor of the Suria KLCC was on fire. Firemen took about nine minutes to put out the flames.
The sauna was almost totally destroyed, but no one was injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation. A body believed to be that of a Malaysian man who went missing in Australia since December 2020 was found near Bathurst in New South Wales on Sunday.
The suspected remains of Jackie Chong Kai Wong was found at about 3.30pm after investigators began a search in a rural area in Kielong Buta. Chong is believed to have died between December 25, 2020 and January 8, 2021. According to reports, Chong entered Australia on a holiday visa, but was in reality working as a crop sitter for a Southeast Asian crime group growing marijuana. The deceased was believed to be looking after up to 1,000 plants at the site.
He was allegedly killed due to a dispute over money with more senior members of the gang who were growing commercial amounts of marijuana on a remote property about 40km from Bathurst. The body was found five days after three men were arrested over his particularly gruesome death. After Chong vanished, it is alleged that Huang Junqi, one of the men charged with his murder, attempted to extort money from his family by offering information on his whereabouts.
Huang was arrested last month as detectives raided his Borala home. The two others arrested were Liu Yilin and Chen Yuzhong. Australian authorities said the body would undergo forensic examination and DNA testing to confirm its identity.
