Police in Nibong Tebal have identified leads in the shooting of a 38-year-old man who was injured outside a row of shophouses on July 27, according to the New Straits Times. The victim, who had a previous criminal record, was shot around 10am after stopping at a convenience store in the same building to buy eggs.
