When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
The man was officially pronounced dead by an assistant medical officer at 11.13pm. The body was taken to the hospital for a post-mortem.

Ashari urged those who have any information about the incident to assist in the investigation by contacting the Wangsa Maju police headquarters at 03-92899222, the Kuala Lumpur police hotline at 03-21159999, or any nearby police station.
