A Chinese national, aged 27, was detained at Kuala Lumpur International Airport's Terminal 1 following allegations of aggressive behavior towards passengers, authorities said on August 19. The incident occurred around 1:19 pm on August 18, when the woman began shouting and disruptively running, singing, and dancing in the departure hall.
