In light of the incident, a politician is offering a hefty reward to those who have credible information on the suspect’s whereabouts, which will aid police in arresting him.
RM5k reward offered

Pouring fuel on a woman and setting her on fire is an act of shocking cruelty. The person responsible must be found, arrested and made to face the full force of the law.
“To assist the police, I am offering a RM5,000 reward for credible information that directly leads to the arrest of the suspect,” he wrote.
However, Lim cautioned against approaching or confronting the suspect head-on as it may lead to a dangerous outcome.

She suffered burns to 50% of her body following the attack.
