00:15and its housekeeping assistant to pay more than RM700,000 in damages to the deceased

00:20widow Wang Cuilin.

00:22In June 2019, Wang lost contact with her husband, Xianning, who was later found dead in a room

00:28at First World Hotel.

00:30A post-mortem concluded that Xianning had died of suffocation.

00:34Two foreign nationals, a Sri Lankan and a Pakistani, were suspected of causing Xianning's

00:39death, although they were never charged.

00:41In a written judgment, Judicial Commissioner Raja Ahmad Mohsanuddin Shahraja Mohsan said

00:47the hotel's then-housekeeping assistant had given the suspects unauthorized access

00:51to Xia's room without verifying whether they were its rightful occupants.

00:55He said the proper course was for the assistant to direct the perpetrators to the hotel's

00:59reception counter for verification before allowing them access.
