SHAH ALAM - The sudden death of 55-year-old teacher Huang Shuyun in Seremban has shocked the school community in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan, after she was found dead at home on Sunday, following her absence from school.
According to a report by Chinese-language daily China Press, Huang, who taught Year One students at SJK(C) Chee Wen in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan recently joined the school in early 2024 after over two decades of service at SJK(C) Bahau.
Concerned about her sudden absence, the school's Assistant Principal He Lijing and Parent-Teacher Association chairman Chan Kah Kien, went to her home to check on her.
When they saw her car parked outside but received no response, they contacted the Fire and Rescue Department for help.
Authorities entered the house and discovered her lifeless body in the bedroom.
According to the police, no foul play was involved and the case has been classified as a sudden death. A post-mortem was underway to determine the cause of death.
Huang was reportedly alone at the time while her husband and daughter were not at home. It is understood that she had a history of heart complications and had previously underwent treatment at the National Heart Institute.
Her death deeply affected her colleagues, students and the local community. In a heartfelt tribute posted on Facebook, SJK(C) Chee Wen expressed their sorrow.
"It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved teacher, Madam Huang Shuyun. The entire school community mourns this loss deeply. We are grateful for her years of service, dedication and love for her students.
