He had allegedly stabbed the professor before jumping from the seven- story building housing the faculty of electrical and electronic engineering. The professor survived the attack.

The university also confirmed the incident in a statement that said, "A final year student from the electrical and electronic engineering school stabbed a professor this morning. The student then jumped off a building."

Local media reports said the stabbing took place on the sixth floor of the building. The Singaporean professor, in his 40s and identified by local media as Chan Kap Luk, was the student's supervisor in a project and was in his office when the student allegedly attacked him.

What happened to the family of the student?
furansizuka
The family of David Wijaya, a Nanyang univ student who was reported as committing suicide after attacking his professor have spoken up. They demanded the government of Indonesia and SG a clear investigation because they said there was no witnesses except the professor to prove that David did it. And they found there was no evident in the spot and on David body to lead to such wrong presumption. In contrast, they believe David was murdered. The family is planning to ask the digital forensic to check David's notebook too.
