“WHAT could a royal family member be possibly doing in a nightclub”?
“Or is this a typo when it should be a high school literature club. 🙏🏻”
Such are the questions playing in the mind of netizens after Malaysiakini reported that the police are investigating a member of the Pahang royal family who allegedly stabbed a man in a Kuantan nightclub last month.
Kuantan district police chief Wan Zahari Wan Busu who confirmed receiving a report on the May 8 incident further told the news portal that an arrest has been made to facilitate investigation into the case.
However, he declined to confirm whether the royalty mentioned in the report was the individual arrested or whether he was the same individual who was implicated last year in an attack against road construction worker Alias Awang who was allegedly stabbed and shot at.
Wan Zahari added that investigations are being conducted under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means.
The investigation paper on the case will be referred to the deputy public prosecutor once the probes are completed “in the near future”.
Going by the Malaysiakini report, digital creator JalalMisai (@jllmisai) expressed amazement at the stabbing incident which is said to have stemmed from the 30-year-old victim “having bumped into the royalty figure twice previously (at a separate entertainment establishment)”.
“The victim was asked (by a friend) to go to a nightclub in Kuantan (to settle the matter) … Upon arriving, the victim handed over RM1,200 as angpow before his head was hit with a glass jug and stabbed in the buttock,” the poster recounted the incident based on a June 5 police report making the rounds on social media.
Mangsa dipanggil ke sebuah kelab malam di Kuantan setelah dia dikatakan 2 kali terlanggar kerabat dalam sebuah kelab malam lain sebelum itu..
Sampai di sana, mangsa bagi RM1200 sebagai ‘angpau’ sebelum kepala dipukul jag kaca dan ditikam di punggung..
Punca terlanggar je..??🤔 https://t.co/M1P5PHRcTv

‘Is this necessary just because of a bump??🤔”
The latest incident brings to light the incident of Pahang ruler Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah’s 21-year-old nephew Tengku Eddie Akasya Tengku Abd Rahman along with four others having been charged with attacking a construction worker with a knife under Section 324 of the Penal Code on Nov 7 last year.
They were charged with committing the offence which caused Alias to be injured on the right thigh at a horse stable in Jalan Teluk Sisek, Kuantan about 12.20am on June 6, 2024.
The five pleaded not guilty at the Kuantan Magistrate’s Court to the charge of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means to the road maintenance worker who was apparently also shot at (but the bullet missed him).
Following the incident, Pahang Crown Prince Tengku Mahkota Pahang Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah had ordered the police to conduct an immediate, transparent and fair investigation into the case while stressing that “nobody – even royalty – is above the law”. – June 14, 2025
