The 2025 Setia City Mall shooting is a shooting incident that occurred at Setia City Mall at around 10:50PM on 8 February 2025. A solo gunman with pistol fired at least 8 shots in the shopping mall, injuring one janitor in the legs and causing mass panic among the shoppers. The shooting caused the shopping mall to be evacuated and stores inside the mall to roll down their shutters. The gunman, later identified as Yap Chin Boon, 35, a Malaysian, also nicknamed "Ah Boy", fled to the carpark of the shopping mall after the shooting. Yap then hijacked a Perodua Ativa SUV carried with a family of six at gunpoint and forced the SUV driver to drive him away from the scene. Yap then dropped off from the SUV at the Pandamaran exit of KESAS Highway and subsequently escaped.
