In Seremban, a man suspected of drug-related activities was shot dead in a residential area today. The incident took place at around 1:50pm in the Garden Homes neighborhood. Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad confirmed the incident occurred, stating that further details would be released by the Narcotics Crime Investigation Department tomorrow.
The suspect, believed to be in his 50s, had been previously arrested eight times for drug and criminal offenses and was sought in relation to a kidnapping case. A local resident, who wished to be identified only as Ali, 72, recounted that he heard what sounded like gunfire from a neighbor who had informed him about the incident.
