Police tracking down 10 suspects to assist in murder, gang fight in Shah Alam

Shah Alam police are actively seeking 10 suspects to aid in their investigations of two separate incidents that occurred in August. Seven men are wanted for their involvement in a fatal fight in Taman Alam Megah, while three others are sought for a machete attack and threats with a firearm-like object in Taman Sri Muda.

The suspects, aged between 23 and 46, were identified following raids across Shah Alam, Lenga, and Iskandar Puteri in Johor between August 14 and 28. As a result of these operations, 21 local men were arrested, aged from 23 to 46, and a variety of weapons were seized, including seven machetes, two cable cutters, nine cars, and three motorcycles. Eight of the arrested individuals have been charged in court under Sections 302 and 149 of the Penal Code, while four others face charges under Section 148.

The victim in the Taman Alam Megah case had six previous criminal records related to drug offenses. Police also suspect that both incidents may be connected to gangsterism, although involving different factions. They believe the Taman Alam Megah fight may have stemmed from a rivalry between two secret society groups, while the Taman Sri Muda incident resulted from a misunderstanding.

On September 4, eight men, including two brothers who are members of a secret society group, were taken to Shah Alam Magistrate's Court and charged with murder. On August 13, a local man was seriously injured during a machete fight near a petrol station in Taman Sri Muda.
