@@preciousgems6789 Let me first preface that I am not here to support the convicted nor do I agree or disagree with the judgement handed. I am only here to shed some light towards how criminal proceedings work (albeit very summarily). It boils down to one point - is there an intention to kill (i.e. the act of committing murder)? We must keep in mind that, in a court of justice involving criminal matters, the prosecution will always be placed on an uphill battle because they must prove with absolute certainty (or in legal terms - beyond reasonable doubt) that the crime the accused is being charged for had indeed been committed. In this case, the question that probably surrounded the judges' minds were something along the lines of "was there real intention to kill or was the death an unintended result of the actions of the accused?". Could there have been some truth to the claims by the accused that the fall (which could have caused the death) was a result of the push which was, in turn, intended to distance the accused from the deceased? Though the 3 blows to the head suggests otherwise, I suppose there may have been some doubt raised in the judges' minds owing to this. TLDR: Unless the judges are absolutely convinced that there is no other possibility aside from the accused's intention to kill and that the actions suggest no alternative depiction other than that of murder - they cannot convict a person for murder.
There are lot of creeps in the cosplay community that’s why I quit cosplay. Moral of the story is never go to a guys house alone because he always has motive. If I had a kid I wouldn’t let her go to a guys house alone.
@@ladynikkie I usually ask online friends to meet outside in public in bright day light in a mall or so. So I can check their vibe. If they are weird or fishy I just leave the meeting and block them online
Not surprising tbh cause a lot of incels who aren't successful with their love lives will get into this. We all know a lot hermits in Japan who love their favourite exualised female characters. Please beware of much older single man who are into this things. They are probably in it for ulterior motives and parents it is never okay to allow you young child to be alone with a stranger in their house. It isn't even safe to trust your own relatives these days but a stranger is truly pushing it.
as Malaysian cosplayer myself, I remember this case and my parents almost tell me to quit cosplay because of this case. But i tell them i can take care and be careful around during event.
I got in trouble by my parents before for hanging out with people not from my school at an event where i live, i live in the philippines, since they saw it as me not being wary of strangers, my mom had to chaperone me as punishment which was so awkward since i was already 21 at that time. I was so annoyed with them feeling theyre overbearing and treating me like a kid but now i understand Now 10 years later im very selective of who i befriend and hang out with because im wary of strangers and i worry about things like this case

Another infuriating case of a creep thinking a female isn't allowed to say no to them. It wasn't even a woman in this case but a child. It's a disgrace that the law will allow him to be released and do this to another female.

Just 15 years old... the coseplay community is normally so accepting and fairly safe .... this case really broke my heart.... Thank you Megan for covering this case and highlighting the danger of online friendship (particularly between teenagers and adults) and to be more vigilant....
While there are so many nice and wonderful people in cosplaying communities there’s also a LOT of predators, especially ones who prey on minors. The sad reality is there aren’t any groups or communities that qualify as being inherently safe, no one (especially minors) should ever let their guard down. As an anime fan myself it pains me to say this, but ANY anime/Japanese media-related community will have an even higher risk of being unsafe. Groomers knowingly infiltrate these communities as they often have more success at warping a minor’s perception of what is and isn’t acceptable due to the sheer amount of lolicon fanservice that’s included in mainstream anime, not to mention all those gag scenes of male characters being pervs who grope and sexually harass female characters. Groomers leverage these unsavoury aspects of anime to normalise their own inappropriate behaviour towards minors. So minors should be extremely cautious of who they interact with in these communities, especially if there’s an age gap and/or if they ever plan to meet up in person, the latter requires a multitude of safety measures to avert any potential danger.
Don’t ever trust men in cosplay community. Sexual harassment and abuse is far too common and normalized. Find other girls to befriend. Protect each other.
I'm a cosplayer from Malaysia, and many of us will never forget about this case. When this news first broke out, it genuinely broke the hearts of the community. Back then, it was still a relatively small community and I remember EVERYONE trying to help search for her, whether it be sharing the 'missing person' FB post or physically going out to search for her, the whole community really banded together and prayed for her safe return. I knew people who were friends with both the victim and the murderer, and I remember the massive debate (when he was arrested for suspicion) that kept going on until the news of his crimes were confirmed. Even so, some of his friends still stood by his innocence and it was just such a heartbreaking situation to witness, especially for her family. It affected the ACG scene here SO MUCH and we were viewed SO negatively by the general public, even my family told me to stop cosplaying. But it also made the community much closer and more aware of everything/everyone, and we (the older adult cosplayers) felt a genuine need to protect the younger ones. We will never ever forget. Thank you Megan for covering this case. I never expected anyone to talk about this after all this years. Happy New Year to you!
@@AiraHz iirc, they said that they've known him for years and did not think that "he is capable of doing something like that" and that it's a "momentary mistake" or something like that. Some even said that "it's good he's not on death sentence anymore cuz he will have a chance to repent and beg for mercy for the rest of his life" smh 🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀
I've met this guy several times during cosplay events, it was so long ago, that time he was a new cosplayer, he tagged along with my friend during an event, so as usual i just befriended with whoever that came along, he was so quiet, and odd sometimes, not easy to talk to, anyway i had a conversation with him, which i heard that he came from a single parent family, he sounds like he doesn't have a good relationship with his father, had some hardships growing up. He just looked like a quiet ,shy , a little socially awkward guy.since then it just hi bye when i saw him,hmm, just feel awkward.Anyway, a year later i left the community to focus on my own life, time flies, i saw he was so active in cosplay and made a lot of friends on social media, and some time later, i saw the missing person post was widely shared on facebook by cosplayer friends(i shared it too), then i remembered i was so shocked to see him appeared in the news as the murderer! All i could say is never judge the book by its cover, always stay vigilant!
So surprised to see this case covered cuz this is one of the cases that feels so close to me even though I didn't personally know the victim. I became friends with a close friend of the victim when the case happened. She approached me during church camp because she thought the victim and I bore a resemblance. Crazy it's been 10 years since it happened.
While it's not always for nefarious reasons, generally speaking, you need to question why an older person wants to hang out with a younger person. When we found out that my husband's ex-wife was letting their daughter date a 16 year old guy at 12 years old, I tried to explain to her why it was wrong. I even asked her, at the time, 'would you want to date an 8 year old?' and she looked shocked and grossed out. I pointed out that it was the same age difference between her and her boyfriend. However the boyfriend had her convinced she was "special" etc. Right before her 16th birthday, they broke up. Thank goodness.
Crazy how they reduce the sentence for someone who murdered a minor and worst is that aside it makes the victim's family devastated, his action must've affect the image of cosplay event back then in Malaysia or probably the whole South East Asia. Thank you Megan for covering this case! Hopefully this can be a lesson to all of us to be more cautious with online friends
As an Otaku i hope justice be served on this case coz a lot of younger ones are in this community I made cosplay costumes for my nieces so watching these made me worry for them. Cosplay is not a culture but an art expressing the passion in recreating anime into live real character, its a passion for art and the love for animes, so i hope people whose not into this should respect cosplayers as well as other peoples hobbies.
Once more, society showing us the real value they see in women. Hypocrisy at is max. 22 years for brutally killing a 15 yo that didn't want to have sex with him. At least her family got some sort of closure and were able to get her back. Sad silver lining to losing a sweet and innocent girl. RIP and my condolences to her family. Cannot imagine their pain.
Ng was just a teenager who had her entire life before her with dreams of her future with her tremendous love of cosplay. Yet Ng had been brutally murdered and this POS walks away with a sentence of 22 years??? This is a grave injustice for Ng as Malaysia simply slapped him on the wrist for killing Ng and all is forgiven now? Such a travesty by the court system and the prosecutors for NOT appealing as well. 🕊️🕊️R.I.P. Ng Yuk Tim🕊️🕊️. My heart goes out to to Ng’s family and loved ones. 💔. No parent should have to bury their child.
As a parent myself of a teenager, I urge other parents to pay attention to your precious child. Talk to them... have their trust to tell you everything. Even mundane stuff like going to the mall and with who. Then maybe we could prevent such a horrible thing like this to happen.
As someone who plans to be a parent in the near future, it’s so scary. On one hand, you want to give children some freedom, on the other you want to keep them in your sight 24/7. The internet adds a whole new curveball. Her poor family, this is just so tragic. People like him don’t deserve an ounce of leniency.
"This tragic case is a chilling reminder of how online interactions can turn deadly when trust is misplaced. Un Yuk Tim’s heartbreaking story exposes the dark reality of predators hiding behind shared hobbies to exploit vulnerable young people. The fact that justice was reduced from a death sentence to 22 years feels like an injustice to her memory. We must stay vigilant and educate our youth about the dangers lurking online, no matter how innocent a connection may seem. Rest in peace, Un Yuk Tim - your story will not be forgotten."
I'm so glad you covered this case as grooming in the malaysian cosplay community are getting out of hand recently.. sad to see a hobby like cosplay are used by predators to target minors. Rest in peace, Ng Yuk Tim.
Fifteen is a little young to be visiting a 22 yr old man alone, even if it seems innocent. It sounds like she could have benefited from some stricter supervision when she was on the Internet. I don't think a fifteen year old needs to be meeting anyone alone unless it's maybe a schoolmate, and even then, she should check in regularly and have a definite return time (maybe two hours of visit at the most, with mom or dad taking her there and picking her up if it's farther than, say, five minutes away). If I had a fifteen year old daughter, I would insist on accompanying her to a male's house, especially someone she's met online. There are just too many weird people out there.
I remember this case, it has also reached the cosplay community where my Indonesian and Filipino friends are too. It was heartbreaking to hear about how her mom frantically searched for her when she disappeared :/ Rest in peace lovely soul, and may that monster get the justice that the law failed to give him.
Hey Megan, you’re on fire with these cases! I’m from Malaysia and this is the first time I heard of this case. At first I thought you were going to discuss the latest disappearance case, where the body of a teenage girl was found in a car last week. Sad that the same kind of story repeats itself over and over again. In the new case, she went to basketball practice and never returned. The boyfriend is under remand as we speak. It is unfortunate that such young lives were taken away too soon. I hope their family found peace someday.
Even the person you’re close with can betray you, how could you believe someone whom you don’t even know the background. There are so many psychopaths out there, and they kill people with no mercy.
He is a predator and had ulterior motive to Invite an underage girl into his house. Any decent person would ask her parents first for approval. He’s a monster!
Thank you, Megan. I remember this story well. It was shocking when I first read about it. Malaysia was not known for these kinds of crime.most are crime of passions, revenge, disputes that led to murder etc. But there shouldn't be any surprise anymore in this age.
Im a cosplayer that i remember sometime when i just started out my parents got upset finding out i was hanging out with people not from my school that my mom had to chaperone me like im a child which was so awkward since i was already 21 at that time and my dad threatened to send me home if i stepped out of the building the event was in to meet the buyer for my wig, in the end at least i was able to really attend the event on one condition my sister would keep a close eye on me. On the way home my parents scolded me saying i was endangering myself for not being wary of strangers that i felt like i was being babied which was too much for me Seeing this case i understand why my parents reacted that way and i realized back then i was so naive which explains my parents reaction. These days where im already in my 30s im very selective of who i befriend mainly because i worry stuff like this would happen which makes it hard for me to make new friends, with new people i befriend i go for the ones well known in the community or at least connected to people i know personally to give me a sense of security
Early! I'm glad I've discovered this channel. You're so relaxing, megan! Please do the Archimedes "Archie" Francisco Trajano case, a victim of Martial Law in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Dear Megan & fans! This case from Malaysia did not reached Singapore. Thanks for presenting to Singaporean. Morale of the story. Careful of meeting strangers. If possible travel in pairs.
In Belgium we had also a case like that, the Pokemon murder. A 20 year old woman meet online a man , that also Collect Pokemon figurine. That day she was going to him to look at a rare figurine. In the 21 min that she meet the man she was murdered.. First he say that he has Amnesia for to year and than he confessed. In Belgium for life is 30 year with chanse on parole.
No it’s not 30 years at all in Belgium! It’s 15 years and even within that time they easily get parole and are free. Malaysia is so much better! Belgium is a very unsafe country for women and very ray cyst!
No it’s not 30 years at all in Belgium! It’s 15 years and even within that time they easily get parole and are free. Malaysia is so much better! Belgium is a very unsafe country for women and very ray cyst! Inmates sentenced to life imprisonment in Belgium are eligible to apply for parole after serving 15 years or 18 years (with a previous conviction below ), or 22 years (with a previous conviction of 5 years or more).
Was a cosplayer with my partner last time too, and we knew him too, we didnt expect any of this from him too its really terrible of what had happened, due to this the community was also in shocked too, let alone trust are shaken. Thk u for covering this, others should know of this before the same thing happen again. Rest in peace 😔
I grew up in the cosplay and online community, 99% of my closest friends till this days are the ones I met online when I was younger. This monster was a predator and I am sure he'll do it again once let out, I feel so sad for Ng's family, she thought she made a new friend and seem so trusting as well as kind. The age difference and wanting to meet at his house was my red flags. Even with my online friends, we waited years, video chat and met in public places for a long time before taking that final step of visiting each other homes. May she rest in peace and may he suffer.
Same here, I met my most trusted friends in this field, now we are all responsible adults.. some doctors, some parents, some business men and women... back then we hadn't the internet connection we have today, we met there and exchange sms stop. We need to be very careful, always on daily basis... as a mom, today, sensing how much my kids like this community too, I have to be there in ways no on was for me.
It's really sad that this young lady lost her life and I feel this should serve as a lesson to always be wary on making friends on social media. And the supreme Court is out of their mind to reverse that sentence the nature of the crime he hit her with a dumbbell and hid her body in a briefcase if that doesn't serve as death penalty I don't know what it is or at least commute his sentence to life imprisonment.
This was a sad case ,I work as sn organizer for cosplay community just to make a safe haven for the cosplayer games and anime lover,that has been shunned by normies,a place for people like us can have a safe place to share our interest without being label as freak ,but in the end among the good theres still bad egg among us ,it's saddened me this happen
Oh.. this happened within the village 1km from my church. It was very sad and shocking. I recall the murder happened at his grandma’s house where he grew up and many church members were involved in the search for her before her body was found dumped in the suitcase. Kids trusting friends they barely know online really should take precautions. It doesn’t happen to you.. until it does.
There's a situation eerily similar with this case here in the Philippines.... it says this is happening all the time, and most of the time it comes unnoticed
Happy new year Megan, I hope you & your little one has a wonderful Sunday! Thank you for exposing and spreading awareness. You're a lighthouse in a very dark world🤍🥰
Hey that’s uncle potato kuan chee heng. He’s a philanthropist in Malaysia. Thanks for this case Megan. I’ve never heard of it even though I’m from Malaysia
Hes a sociopath the monster!!!! This innocent young girl . He munipulated her to get her to he's house !!! She rejected him and he killed her for that. Hope he dont make it out alive of that prison. A life for a life thats how it suppose to be. Rip beautiful lady. Thank you megan
If you're going to meet someone who you didn't know at all please bring a friend or just meet her/him on the police station just to make sure you are safe! Or just don't meet anyone who you didn't know at all especially if its on social media... please be safe everyone!!!!
Sad that the killer didn’t get the maximum penalty for his crime. This reminded me of a case that happened in the Philippines back in the 90s- the murder of maureen hultman and roland chapman by claudio teehankee jr. The suspect was convicted and jailed, but was eventually granted presidential clemency 🥺 perhaps it was due to the fact that the suspect is the son of a former chief justice, maybe…regardless, i feel so sad for the victims and their families as well
Megan, your storytelling truly captures the darkness of these cases, reflecting the gravity of the crimes themselves. I’m captivated by the stories and deeply hope that justice is served for these killers, bringing peace to the victims and their families.🙏🏼
as a cosplayer this case hits so hard, the cosplay community is filled with amazing people but sadly there are also a lot of people with bad intentions, my heart goes out to her friends and family ❤
Since the conclusion of the court proceedings, Poon remains in prison serving his 22-year sentence. If he served time with good behavior, Poon would possibly be released on parole in 2027 after completing at least two-thirds of his jail term (equivalent to 14 years and eight months) - wiki Possible in 2 years this guy will be roaming the streets again... A mask can hide this guy's identity on cosplay events....
When this monster is released, he will only be 44 years old. He is definitely going to commit crimes again, no doubt about it. The justice system is a joke sometimes. I also think Ng might not be his first victim.
Thank You For Telling the world and for the Young Generation Cosplayers out there. This is a Cosplayer Nightmare for having Online Friends that you meet at the event for shortly that you don't actually know who they are or what they are, Girls please be Alert EVERY MOMENT 🙏
This is very tragic case.he looks like he tried to take advantage of a girl.and killed her in frustration.this is why underage kids should stay away from strangers.
Remember, when a stranger invites you to his/her house, please do not intend to go. Make sure you both meet first in a public place and discuss things. So that any sinister gut triggers you can lead you to save yourself and shout for help! This is really a sad case for a young lady with passion for cosplaying. What a loss. Condolence to her family. 😢 Keep safe to our cosplayers out there!!
Not to reduce the heaviness of the crime but what sort of parents let their minor daughter visit a strange grown man all by herself? As much as i love the “world should be safe for women to do whatever we want” that’s not the reality, more like a dream. And the safety of our loved ones and our own is in our hands. We have to tread carefully because the world will do what it wants. Had the parents intervened and told the child to meet this man in a public place or gone with her, this could have been avoided.
Thank you for making this video, and as a reminder, no one forgets what happened.. I know both the killer and victim. When it happened, it was sad and shocking to all of us ....what he did to her is just beyong horrible it also make me see everyone true nature. As an elder brother, it makes me more protective toward my sibling and the younger generations who join this community. Because behing all those sweet smile might have some dark attention. Thank you for making this video and bring light to this ...i am happy to know at least her memory is still being remember.
Teens should be honest with their parents and stranger danger should be instilled especially when there’s an age gap. It’s sad and unfounded that this teen’s life was cut short because of this predator.
Happy New Year Megan. Thank you for this crime story from Malaysia. Even though Poon Wai Hong was convicted, his defense team was able to lessen his sentence which is a tough pill to swallow. Definitely showing that despite evidence, the justice system sometimes fail us. May Ng Yuk Tim's soul still at peace even though it didn't get the outcome her family wanted.
That’s why if u wanna meet someone online even same age or gender as u still go to a well lit public place and let people know who and where you’re going with
You'd think that in a country such Malaysia, where the Death penalty is a very prominent punishment that he would have been executed. Almost as bad as the justice system here in America. The guilty get to continue living.
I remember I as cosplay judging at sungai wang event ,wai Hong is one of participant ,I quit cosplay, because use a lot of money, but really enjoy , and sad that some odd people is around,
........... Usually, people like Poon has a lot of victims already, although he only killed once. I wonder if his grooming victims came out during the trial...
That's sad that the court overturned the original sentence. This guy will do it again once released. He should've at least gotten a life sentence.

Thank you Megan for covering this case! Hopefully this can be a lesson to all of us to be more cautious with online friends
Yet they will put a person to death for drugs. Make it make sense.
As an Otaku i hope justice be served on this case coz a lot of younger ones are in this community I made cosplay costumes for my nieces so watching these made me worry for them. Cosplay is not a culture but an art expressing the passion in recreating anime into live real character, its a passion for art and the love for animes, so i hope people whose not into this should respect cosplayers as well as other peoples hobbies.
Once more, society showing us the real value they see in women. Hypocrisy at is max. 22 years for brutally killing a 15 yo that didn't want to have sex with him. At least her family got some sort of closure and were able to get her back. Sad silver lining to losing a sweet and innocent girl. RIP and my condolences to her family. Cannot imagine their pain.
Ng was just a teenager who had her entire life before her with dreams of her future with her tremendous love of cosplay. Yet Ng had been brutally murdered and this POS walks away with a sentence of 22 years??? This is a grave injustice for Ng as Malaysia simply slapped him on the wrist for killing Ng and all is forgiven now? Such a travesty by the court system and the prosecutors for NOT appealing as well. 🕊️🕊️R.I.P. Ng Yuk Tim🕊️🕊️. My heart goes out to to Ng’s family and loved ones. 💔. No parent should have to bury their child.
As a parent myself of a teenager, I urge other parents to pay attention to your precious child. Talk to them... have their trust to tell you everything. Even mundane stuff like going to the mall and with who. Then maybe we could prevent such a horrible thing like this to happen.
As someone who plans to be a parent in the near future, it’s so scary. On one hand, you want to give children some freedom, on the other you want to keep them in your sight 24/7. The internet adds a whole new curveball. Her poor family, this is just so tragic. People like him don’t deserve an ounce of leniency.
I love the advice you gave at the beginning of the video, you’re gonna make an amazing mom, filled with so much grace and wisdom 😊❤
"This tragic case is a chilling reminder of how online interactions can turn deadly when trust is misplaced. Un Yuk Tim’s heartbreaking story exposes the dark reality of predators hiding behind shared hobbies to exploit vulnerable young people. The fact that justice was reduced from a death sentence to 22 years feels like an injustice to her memory. We must stay vigilant and educate our youth about the dangers lurking online, no matter how innocent a connection may seem. Rest in peace, Un Yuk Tim - your story will not be forgotten."
I'm so glad you covered this case as grooming in the malaysian cosplay community are getting out of hand recently.. sad to see a hobby like cosplay are used by predators to target minors. Rest in peace, Ng Yuk Tim.
Fifteen is a little young to be visiting a 22 yr old man alone, even if it seems innocent. It sounds like she could have benefited from some stricter supervision when she was on the Internet. I don't think a fifteen year old needs to be meeting anyone alone unless it's maybe a schoolmate, and even then, she should check in regularly and have a definite return time (maybe two hours of visit at the most, with mom or dad taking her there and picking her up if it's farther than, say, five minutes away). If I had a fifteen year old daughter, I would insist on accompanying her to a male's house, especially someone she's met online. There are just too many weird people out there.
You are absolutely right.
The reason she was meeting him was cuz the guy was a very good cosplay prop maker back then , they met to complete a cosplay prop for a big event.
As a Malaysian, I never knew about this case. This serves a grim reminder that you still have to be careful with whoever you meet.
I remember this case, it has also reached the cosplay community where my Indonesian and Filipino friends are too. It was heartbreaking to hear about how her mom frantically searched for her when she disappeared :/ Rest in peace lovely soul, and may that monster get the justice that the law failed to give him.
im impressed by your correct pronunciation of the chinese surnames and malaysia names like Shah Alam 👏 👏
Hey Megan, you’re on fire with these cases! I’m from Malaysia and this is the first time I heard of this case. At first I thought you were going to discuss the latest disappearance case, where the body of a teenage girl was found in a car last week. Sad that the same kind of story repeats itself over and over again. In the new case, she went to basketball practice and never returned. The boyfriend is under remand as we speak.
It is unfortunate that such young lives were taken away too soon. I hope their family found peace someday.
I love the way you narrate a story it is very clear and easy to understand!
Even the person you’re close with can betray you, how could you believe someone whom you don’t even know the background. There are so many psychopaths out there, and they kill people with no mercy.
He is a predator and had ulterior motive to Invite an underage girl into his house. Any decent person would ask her parents first for approval. He’s a monster!
The girls parents knew him
@ Yeah but did they know that she was going to his house alone? He’s way older than her..
@@happypeach1389 the mom only knew " going to freinds house" mom trusted daughter too much
Thank you, Megan. I remember this story well. It was shocking when I first read about it. Malaysia was not known for these kinds of crime.most are crime of passions, revenge, disputes that led to murder etc.
But there shouldn't be any surprise anymore in this age.
Im a cosplayer that i remember sometime when i just started out my parents got upset finding out i was hanging out with people not from my school that my mom had to chaperone me like im a child which was so awkward since i was already 21 at that time and my dad threatened to send me home if i stepped out of the building the event was in to meet the buyer for my wig, in the end at least i was able to really attend the event on one condition my sister would keep a close eye on me. On the way home my parents scolded me saying i was endangering myself for not being wary of strangers that i felt like i was being babied which was too much for me
Seeing this case i understand why my parents reacted that way and i realized back then i was so naive which explains my parents reaction. These days where im already in my 30s im very selective of who i befriend mainly because i worry stuff like this would happen which makes it hard for me to make new friends, with new people i befriend i go for the ones well known in the community or at least connected to people i know personally to give me a sense of security
Early! I'm glad I've discovered this channel. You're so relaxing, megan! Please do the Archimedes "Archie" Francisco Trajano case, a victim of Martial Law in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Dear Megan & fans! This case from Malaysia did not reached Singapore. Thanks for presenting to Singaporean. Morale of the story. Careful of meeting strangers. If possible travel in pairs.
In Belgium we had also a case like that, the Pokemon murder.
A 20 year old woman meet online a man , that also Collect Pokemon figurine. That day she was going to him to look at a rare figurine.
In the 21 min that she meet the man she was murdered..
First he say that he has Amnesia for to year and than he confessed.
In Belgium for life is 30 year with chanse on parole.
No it’s not 30 years at all in Belgium! It’s 15 years and even within that time they easily get parole and are free. Malaysia is so much better! Belgium is a very unsafe country for women and very ray cyst!

Inmates sentenced to life imprisonment in Belgium are eligible to apply for parole after serving 15 years or 18 years (with a previous conviction below ), or 22 years (with a previous conviction of 5 years or more).
@李珊-f2r thank for clear that up
Was a cosplayer with my partner last time too, and we knew him too, we didnt expect any of this from him too
its really terrible of what had happened, due to this the community was also in shocked too, let alone trust are shaken.
Thk u for covering this, others should know of this before the same thing happen again.
Rest in peace 😔
I grew up in the cosplay and online community, 99% of my closest friends till this days are the ones I met online when I was younger. This monster was a predator and I am sure he'll do it again once let out, I feel so sad for Ng's family, she thought she made a new friend and seem so trusting as well as kind. The age difference and wanting to meet at his house was my red flags. Even with my online friends, we waited years, video chat and met in public places for a long time before taking that final step of visiting each other homes.
May she rest in peace and may he suffer.
Same here, I met my most trusted friends in this field, now we are all responsible adults.. some doctors, some parents, some business men and women... back then we hadn't the internet connection we have today, we met there and exchange sms stop.
We need to be very careful, always on daily basis... as a mom, today, sensing how much my kids like this community too, I have to be there in ways no on was for me.
Thank you so much for this channel! Probably my favourite right now! Huge fan! The stories you find are almost unbelievable!!! Great job❤
It's really sad that this young lady lost her life and I feel this should serve as a lesson to always be wary on making friends on social media. And the supreme Court is out of their mind to reverse that sentence the nature of the crime he hit her with a dumbbell and hid her body in a briefcase if that doesn't serve as death penalty I don't know what it is or at least commute his sentence to life imprisonment.
Thank you, Megan! Love your pace and tone when sharing these crime stories.❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was a sad case ,I work as sn organizer for cosplay community just to make a safe haven for the cosplayer games and anime lover,that has been shunned by normies,a place for people like us can have a safe place to share our interest without being label as freak ,but in the end among the good theres still bad egg among us ,it's saddened me this happen
The pathetic justice system failed the girl.
Oh.. this happened within the village 1km from my church. It was very sad and shocking. I recall the murder happened at his grandma’s house where he grew up and many church members were involved in the search for her before her body was found dumped in the suitcase. Kids trusting friends they barely know online really should take precautions. It doesn’t happen to you.. until it does.
There's a situation eerily similar with this case here in the Philippines.... it says this is happening all the time, and most of the time it comes unnoticed
The world is a scary place
Yes it is!
Happy new year Megan, I hope you & your little one has a wonderful Sunday! Thank you for exposing and spreading awareness. You're a lighthouse in a very dark world🤍🥰
Another upload! Heck yeah! Thank you Megan!🎉❤
Hey that’s uncle potato kuan chee heng. He’s a philanthropist in Malaysia. Thanks for this case Megan. I’ve never heard of it even though I’m from Malaysia
Thanks Megan for covering the crime cases from my home country Malaysia, really appreciate your tremendous efforts indeed!
Hes a sociopath the monster!!!! This innocent young girl . He munipulated her to get her to he's house !!! She rejected him and he killed her for that. Hope he dont make it out alive of that prison. A life for a life thats how it suppose to be. Rip beautiful lady. Thank you megan
I am Malaysian but know nothing about this case until now 😮
Yeay new video. Thank you Megan 🥰
If you're going to meet someone who you didn't know at all please bring a friend or just meet her/him on the police station just to make sure you are safe! Or just don't meet anyone who you didn't know at all especially if its on social media... please be safe everyone!!!!
Sad that the killer didn’t get the maximum penalty for his crime. This reminded me of a case that happened in the Philippines back in the 90s- the murder of maureen hultman and roland chapman by claudio teehankee jr. The suspect was convicted and jailed, but was eventually granted presidential clemency 🥺 perhaps it was due to the fact that the suspect is the son of a former chief justice, maybe…regardless, i feel so sad for the victims and their families as well
She was beautiful and young, but met with a tragic fate, may her soul rest in peace.
Megan, your storytelling truly captures the darkness of these cases, reflecting the gravity of the crimes themselves. I’m captivated by the stories and deeply hope that justice is served for these killers, bringing peace to the victims and their families.🙏🏼
as a cosplayer this case hits so hard, the cosplay community is filled with amazing people but sadly there are also a lot of people with bad intentions, my heart goes out to her friends and family ❤
Megan sara sharif was abused to death by her own father and stepmother please make a video on her😢
Since the conclusion of the court proceedings, Poon remains in prison serving his 22-year sentence. If he served time with good behavior, Poon would possibly be released on parole in 2027 after completing at least two-thirds of his jail term (equivalent to 14 years and eight months) - wiki
Possible in 2 years this guy will be roaming the streets again... A mask can hide this guy's identity on cosplay events....
When this monster is released, he will only be 44 years old. He is definitely going to commit crimes again, no doubt about it. The justice system is a joke sometimes. I also think Ng might not be his first victim.
Hello Megan, I always feel intrigued by your amazing crime investigation series, this is another heartbreaking murder case. 😢
Thank you!
Happy new year, Meg!
Thank You For Telling the world and for the Young Generation Cosplayers out there. This is a Cosplayer Nightmare for having Online Friends that you meet at the event for shortly that you don't actually know who they are or what they are, Girls please be Alert EVERY MOMENT 🙏
I like your sweater c:
This is why as parents you keep an eye on your children's friends
never forget. we may not a close friend but we all friend. both actually.
Hi Megan, I really love listening to you and your voice, I hope you can make longer content ❤
This is very tragic case.he looks like he tried to take advantage of a girl.and killed her in frustration.this is why underage kids should stay away from strangers.
Remember, when a stranger invites you to his/her house, please do not intend to go. Make sure you both meet first in a public place and discuss things. So that any sinister gut triggers you can lead you to save yourself and shout for help! This is really a sad case for a young lady with passion for cosplaying. What a loss. Condolence to her family. 😢
Keep safe to our cosplayers out there!!
the world is so fucked up
Nowhere is safe these days. Lots of psychos out there.
Cant believe i used to have post cosplay party with this guy.
Thank you Megan ❤
As a local cosplay photographer, I find this story heartbreaking! RIP Ng Yuk Tim.
Not to reduce the heaviness of the crime but what sort of parents let their minor daughter visit a strange grown man all by herself? As much as i love the “world should be safe for women to do whatever we want” that’s not the reality, more like a dream. And the safety of our loved ones and our own is in our hands. We have to tread carefully because the world will do what it wants. Had the parents intervened and told the child to meet this man in a public place or gone with her, this could have been avoided.
Thanks!
Thank you🙏🏻
Thank you for making this video, and as a reminder, no one forgets what happened.. I know both the killer and victim.
When it happened, it was sad and shocking to all of us ....what he did to her is just beyong horrible it also make me see everyone true nature.
As an elder brother, it makes me more protective toward my sibling and the younger generations who join this community. Because behing all those sweet smile might have some dark attention.
Thank you for making this video and bring light to this ...i am happy to know at least her memory is still being remember.
Teens should be honest with their parents and stranger danger should be instilled especially when there’s an age gap. It’s sad and unfounded that this teen’s life was cut short because of this predator.
Someone paid someone a lot of money.
Happy New Year Megan. Thank you for this crime story from Malaysia. Even though Poon Wai Hong was convicted, his defense team was able to lessen his sentence which is a tough pill to swallow. Definitely showing that despite evidence, the justice system sometimes fail us.
May Ng Yuk Tim's soul still at peace even though it didn't get the outcome her family wanted.
i always wonder whats goin through all these lawyer's mind as they defend an obvious killers.
That’s why if u wanna meet someone online even same age or gender as u still go to a well lit public place and let people know who and where you’re going with
You'd think that in a country such Malaysia, where the Death penalty is a very prominent punishment that he would have been executed. Almost as bad as the justice system here in America. The guilty get to continue living.
listening to ur voice is very addictive....
"He shoved her in self-defense," YOU WERE THE OFFENSE.
Hello there megan blessed day to you,keep safe alwaysand thanks again for this
Thank you Ms. Megan❤️🩷
Not long young Megan you will have your child in your arms. Congrats young mama
Not all men. But always a man 😔 RIP Ng, gone too soon.
There's always a possibility of him dying in an accident...
He took a life but didn't get the same or more treatment for his sin. The justice system is a joke.
I remember I as cosplay judging at sungai wang event ,wai Hong is one of participant ,I quit cosplay, because use a lot of money, but really enjoy , and sad that some odd people is around,
The appellate court, on very weak evidence, insulted her family and her memory by overturning the original verdict.
........... Usually, people like Poon has a lot of victims already, although he only killed once. I wonder if his grooming victims came out during the trial...
An underage seeing an adult without supervision 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
This is so messed up... I just can't understand why they reduced his sentence
rest in peace to Ng Yuk Tim
I think as this kind of Criminal case studies, commentary, or narrations, should be at least 30-40 minutes by minimum.
I guess taking someone's life is no big deal then.
Please do a video on Brother's House in Korea in the 1980's
What an unfair cruel world we live in!
I didn't even kw you dropped. I'm subscribed with the bell on, but I get no notifications, thats weird.
Next video in Murder case of Jang Lucero from Calamba City Laguna, until now remains case closed.
