Cheras police chief Aidil Bolhassan said an emergency call was received at around 11.17am today and a team was deployed to the location immediately, Bernama reported.

“The body has been sent to the forensic unit of Canselor Tuanku Muhriz Hospital and the post-mortem will be carried out tomorrow,” he said in a statement.

Aidil said the case has been classified as sudden death and that investigations were ongoing.

A 37-second video showing a man believed to be related to the victim crying by the child’s body had gone viral.

Earlier today, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) called for the enactment of specific laws to enhance child safety legislation in high-rise residential buildings, following the recent deaths of a seven-year-old and two-year-old in separate incidents.

Suhakam children’s commissioner Farah Nini Dusuki said child safety laws to be enacted by the housing and local government ministry should include mandatory safety grilles or protective mesh on windows and balconies for apartment and flat units.

She also urged the government to review current building design guidelines, saying they must include minimum safety standards to ensure high-rise units are child-friendly.

The seven-year-old girl who died on May 20 fell from a babysitter’s home on the 29th floor of a condominium in Puchong.

Subang Jaya deputy police chief Fairus Jaafar said preliminary findings indicated that the victim climbed out of the window, which had no safety grilles installed.

On May 17, a two-year-old boy fell from the seventh floor of a public housing building in Precinct 9, Putrajaya.
