KUALA LUMPUR: A 73-year-old man died at Kajang Hospital about 7.30pm today, several hours after he was assaulted and robbed at his house in Kampung Baru Semenyih in Kajang, near here.
The victim - Kow Sin, was found lying unconscious in the living room by his son Kow Tein Fook, 34, about 1.30pm.
Tein Fook told reporters that the victim suffered serious injuries to the head, and was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance.
The victim however succumbed to his injuries without regaining consciousness.
Tein Fook, who is the victim's ninth child, said he suspected one of his foreign workers, whom he recently employed for construction jobs, had attacked Sin.
He alleged that the Indonesian man might have gone to the house to ask for his salary of RM100, which was due for a two-day job.
The victim lived with his wife and Tein Fook. However, at the time of the incident, Sin was alone.
