Journalist Li Xue, 30, had been planning a relaxing honeymoon under the Sabah sun away from the pressures of work for the last two months. Instead, she made headlines in China on Thursday after reporting an armed raid and kidnapping.
"I was not scared because the police arrived very quickly," said Li, an editor from Western China Metropolis Daily in Chengdu, Sichuan province, who was staying at a resort in the easternmost Malaysian state. "I felt angry at the kidnappers and what they had done. And I was disappointed that my honeymoon was ruined."
Li was the first Chinese witness to report the incident in which six gunmen stormed the resort and abducted two women - a 29-year-old Chinese tourist and a 40-year-old hotel worker from the Philippines. The gunmen escaped in a speedboat.
Li said she was about to go to bed when she heard women screaming and the sounds of people scattering in panic.
A few moments later, Li, whose room was only a few meters away from the abduction, heard a speedboat engine rev up and then fade into the night. With her husband and two friends, Li had arrived four days earlier on her first visit to Malaysia.
About 10 minutes after the incident, she said, the hotel asked about 60 guests, including senior citizens and children, to gather in the canteen, where the abduction was explained.
When they learned that the resort had been raided and armed men may still be in the vicinity, the guests lay on the floor, Li said.
