Noraini Othman, the victim of an attempted murder and rape last Tuesday, is alive today because she played dead.
The 16-year-old, from Kampung Gual Kulim, Malaysia pretended to be dead after her assailant hit her on the head in an attempt to rape her in a wooden shed in Jalan Senggora.
The ruse worked as he stopped beating her, but her ordeal was not over as the man, who was her brother’s friend, wrapped her in a mat that he found in the shed.
He then placed pieces of wood on her prone body in an attempt to make a funeral pyre for the Sekolah Perempuan Pasir Mas student.
The assailant then started a fire using her textbooks.
"After he started the fire, I waited several minutes just to be sure that he was gone," Noraini said from her hospital bed where she is now recovering.
I salute the strength of a cool head in a horrible situation and wish her well.
