Acid Attack Victim Recovering But Remains Traumatised – Husband

Bachok: The condition of the victim who sustained injuries after being splashed with a liquid believed to be acid on May 17, is improving after undergoing three surgeries. Her husband, Muhammad Syahrul Ikhwan Seri Buana, 33, said he is not certain how many more surgeries his wife, Nor Faziera Muda, 27, will need, as it depends on her skin condition.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Muhammad Syahrul expressed hope for his wife's full recovery, praising the expertise of the doctors involved. However, he emphasized his concern over the psychological impact of the attack, stating that the trauma from the incident might still be haunting her, particularly given the uncertainty of the perpetrator's identity.

When asked about the two arrested suspects linked to the case and one still at large, Muhammad Syahrul refrained from making assumptions to avoid disrupting the police investigation. He stressed that the responsibility of resolving the case lies with the authorities, emphasizing the need for appropriate punishment for those responsible for the attack.

On May 17, Nor Faziera, a spa owner, was splashed with a liquid believed to be acid by an unknown individual near a convenience store in Beris Kubur Besar, Tawang, Bachok. The attack left her with severe burns on her shoulder, back, arms, and legs. She is currently receiving treatment at the Burn Treatment Unit Ward, Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital, Kubang Kerian.
