The Star
In a shocking turn of events, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) became the scene of a dramatic shooting incident. Early on April 14, 2024, a suspect, later identified as Hafizul Harawi, fired shots at the airport’s Terminal 1.
The Malaysian authorities responded promptly by distributing the suspect’s photograph to all northern entry points and neighboring countries’ authorities, intensifying the search.
Controls at “rat lanes” and other border crossings were strengthened to prevent the suspect from fleeing the country.
Hafizul Harawi, 38-year-old—Hafizul Harawi became the focus of a nationwide manhunt. The police believe he obtained the weapon, a 9-mm semi-automatic pistol, from a neighboring country.
The suspect was arrested in Kota Baru on April 15, 2024, at around 3 PM, marking the end of the immediate crisis.
The incident stemmed from a domestic dispute, as Harawi was in the midst of a divorce and had a criminal record.
This event has raised serious concerns about security measures at KLIA, prompting a review to prevent future incidents.
The Malaysian government is now focused on reviewing and enhancing security protocols at airports to ensure the safety of passengers and staff.
The incident has also sparked a national conversation on the importance of addressing domestic violence and supporting those affected.
