On Sunday, police apprehended three men following a violent altercation at a vacant lot near the OUG Community Hall in Kuala Lumpur. The incident, linked to an alleged unauthorized parking business, involved abusive language, a punch to the head, and a threat to inflict further harm. The suspect, along with two others, all aged between 20 and 26, possessed criminal records.

Teresa Kok, the Seputeh MP, expressed gratitude for the police's prompt response in her statement. She detailed the charges - criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt - against the operator of the unauthorized parking operation.
