Teacher found dead in home uncontactable since Sept, says exco
Lo Kwan Fong's decomposed body was found in her home last Thursday. PETALING JAYA : Lo Kwan Fong, the 39-year-old teacher whose decomposed body was found in her home in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, last Thursday, had been uncontactable since September, said state executive councillor Aznan Tamin. The state education and information committee chairman said the last time Lo had contacted her school was on Sept 26, 2024. 'The teacher could not be contacted via phone calls, SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger or Telegram. 'The school principal also issued show-cause letters for her absence from duty on Nov 21 and Dec 19 last year. 'The teacher's phone number continued to be unreachable on March 12, causing the school to resort to various other ways to track her,' Bernama quoted him as saying. Yesterday, Iskandar Puteri police chief M Kumarasan said Lo, a teacher at a school in Taman Tunku Aminah, was found dead after her neighbours alerted police to a foul smell coming from the house in Bandar Selesa Jaya last Thursday. He said Lo was believed to have died a month ago, and that the post-mortem could not determine the cause of death due to the advanced state of decomposition. Aznan said the school attempted to track Lo via letters of inquiry to government agencies such as the road transport department, prisons department, immigration department and national registration department. On Dec 29, her neighbour told the school the teacher had not returned home for a long time, going by the many letters and mail stuffed into the windows and door of her house, while her car was parked on the roadside nearby. 'The deceased was an only child and lived alone after her parents died,' he said, adding that the teacher was believed to have grappled with personal problems like depression. Aznan said her body was still at Sultanah Aminah Hospital here as no next of kin had come forward to claim it.
