GEORGE TOWN: Feng shui master Th’ng Keat Seong, whose left hand was chopped off in a vicious attack on Monday, says he really did not see it coming.
Th’ng admitted he did not get any premonition that something bad would happen. “I am a feng shui expert. I don’t predict the future as I’m not a fortune teller,” he said.
Th’ng, 44, offers consultancy services to his clients and has his own shop selling feng shui items in Penang Times Square shopping mall.
He claimed there was someone out there who did not want him in the business due to jealousy.
Th’ng said he was walking to his car after dinner at a restaurant when he was attacked at Jalan Lintang Emas, near Jalan Besi, at about 8pm on Monday night.
Blood stains found on the car boot indicated that his assailants could have held his hand there before chopping it off.
“It all happened so fast and I can’t really recollect what happened, or how the assailants looked like.
“All I can remember is that someone yanked my left arm from behind and I felt a searing pain. The next thing I knew, my left hand was missing and there was a lot of blood,” said Th’ng, who is right handed, when met at the the Gleneagles Medical Centre yesterday.

Feng shui man’s hand still missing
GEORGE TOWN: The left hand of a feng shui master which was chopped off by assailants here on Tuesday is still missing.
Chances are even if the missing hand is found, it would be too late for surgeons to reattach it.
A medical expert, who declined to be named, said under normal circumstances, a severed hand has to be reattached within six hours to have any chance of functioning again.
George Town OCPD Asst Comm Gan Kong Meng believed Th’ng Keat Seong’s assailants had made off with the hand after hacking it off.
“The victim could hardly recall anything as he was in great pain. More than one assailant were involved in the savage attack,” he said yesterday.
ACP Gan said they were investigating the case from all possible angles, including business rivalry as the motive.
“We are appealing to eyewitnesses to furnish us with details of the attack. Those with information can inform the nearest police station,” he said.
Th’ng, 44, offers consultancy services to his clients and has his own shop selling feng shui items at the Penang Times Square shopping mall.
Th’ng, who is reported to be in stable condition, refused to talk to the media yesterday.
