They will punish you Malaysian death connected to internet scam in Thailand.
Goi Zhen Feng had travelled to Bangkok in late January saying he was going to meet a girl he had met online. Investigators believe he was caught up in an internet scam and died from injuries and illness related to abuse he suffered during his ordeal.
The Malaysian parents of Goi Zhen Feng travelled to Thailand in late August 2022 hoping to rescue their son from internet scammers. The couple travelled to Bangkok on August 30 and were scheduled to fly to Mae Sot the following day to meet their son but on September 15 had the grim task of collecting his cremated remains. “However, we were informed he had died at 2am on May 11. The doctor believed my son was abused before he was left at the hospital for treatment on April 11”.
Goi Chee Kong, 50, and his wife, 45, from Ipoh, Perak, were devasted when they found out Goi Zhen Feng, 23, had fallen victim to a job scam. He was believed to have been trafficked into Myawaddy in south eastern Myanmar and forced to work for the syndicate.
Chee Kong said his son was admitted to the hospital’s ICU unit under a fake name and passport number.
Investigators said they believe the 23 year old’s death is among the first to be formally linked to a rising number of scams, often operated by Chinese gangs, that prey on young people across Asia.
