A Threads post claiming that doctors at Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) successfully reattached a policeman’s severed hand has brought relief to Malaysians following the horrific attack in Kepong.

The officer had suffered the injury while responding to an incident at a residential property in Desa Amanpuri yesterday (Nov 11).

Threads user shares hopeful update

Posting under the username @kinderbueno_05, a Threads user shared that specialists at HKL had managed to reattach the officer’s hand.

The screenshot of the post shows more than 39,000 likes, with users expressing relief and sending their well wishes.

News reports available at the time of writing confirmed that the officer was in stable condition and undergoing surgery, but did not independently confirm the outcome of the procedure.

M’sians thank HKL’s medical team

The update prompted an outpouring of appreciation for the doctors and healthcare workers involved.

One commenter thanked Dr Allan Ravi Rajagopal, identifying him as the head of HKL’s Hand and Microsurgery Unit. However, the commenter’s post does not independently establish his involvement in the officer’s operation.

Others praised the expertise of specialists working in government hospitals and shared stories of how public healthcare teams had helped their loved ones.

One user recalled a relative who had nearly lost hope before being referred to a specialist at Hospital Seremban, where they received treatment and recovered.

Among the replies was a user who said they had undergone a similar procedure at HKL in 2018.

Sharing a photo of their hand, the user offered encouragement and expressed hope that the policeman would eventually regain its function.

Their experience brought a hopeful perspective to the discussion, while other commenters continued to pray for the officer’s recovery.

Attacked while responding to a call

According to the recent report, the injured officer is a 26-year-old lance corporal attached to the Gombak district police headquarters’ Mobile Patrol Vehicle unit.

He was part of a team involving police, firefighters and Health Ministry personnel responding to reports of a man behaving aggressively at a residential property.

The suspect allegedly rushed out carrying two machetes and attacked the officer, severing his right hand at the wrist. The policeman was initially taken to Selayang Hospital before being transferred to HKL.

Police said the suspect later attacked officers again near a playground. Officers fired shots in self-defence, and the suspect was subsequently pronounced dead at Selayang Hospital.

Anwar calls for firm action

Following the incident, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim condemned violence against enforcement personnel and called for firm action against those responsible for violent crimes.

He also offered prayers for the injured officer’s speedy recovery.

For those following the case, the latest social media update has offered hope, with many sending the officer strength and thanking the medical team caring for him.
