The family of the late Tang Yong Ching has implored relevant educational institutions in Malaysia to increase discernment when processing foreign student applications.
According to a letter sent by Tang's family to The Malay Mail that was published online yesterday, police had arrested two foreigners who are allegedly involved in the murder of Tang, a property agent who had gone missing on July 5 and was found deceased seven days later.
Tang's family wrote: "It's our wish that all educational institutions in Malaysia be aware of the real intention of those applying to their establishments.
"These institutions must adopt stringent selection criteria when approving foreign student applications. Do not blindly process them for financial reasons."
In addition to this urge to authoritative figures, Tang's family also emphasised on personal safety measures to be adopted by those in a similar profession as well as by the general public.
The slaughter of Tang is among the most recent of criminal cases rocking the Malaysian real estate community and industry.
