PETALING JAYA (May 15): One of the nuns hurt in yesterday's attack outside the Church of the Visitation in Seremban, Juliana Lim Nyo Nya, 69, is still in a coma and in critical condition at the Seremban Hospital.
It is learnt that the other nun, Marie Rose Teng, 79, has regained consciousness but is still very weak and barely able to speak.
The duo were allegedly attacked with helmets before being robbed in the church grounds early yesterday morning.
In between consciousness, Marie Rose had revealed that at least two attackers were involved and after attacking them, the suspects fled with their handbags containing just a minimal amount of cash, bible, rosary and prayer books.
Both nuns were dressed in normal attire and had arrived with two others who had left them to pray nearby.
A parish member found the two nuns about 6am lying unconscious just outside the church door before alerting the authorities.
The nuns are from the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus in Seremban, which is just a short distance from the church along Jalan Yam Tuan.
Netizens have since strongly condemned the attack on the two nuns with many expressing doubts whether robbery was the motive of the assault.
In Twitter, Malaysians expressed shock and disgust over the incident.
To date, police sources revealed that no arrests have been made, while the Seremban police chief is expected to hold a press conference on the incident at 3pm.
