Bomb threat at JB’s Mid Valley Southkey a hoax

Johor police have declared a recent bomb threat at The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey in Johor Bahru as a hoax. The mall management alerted the authorities to the email threat, prompting police to deploy bomb disposal units to conduct security checks. The bomb disposal teams found several suspicious objects during their inspection, but these objects were later determined to contain no explosive materials, and the area was declared safe.

This incident follows a similar hoax reported in July, in which police received an email alleging a bomb had been planted at Centrepoint South Tower, Mid Valley City in Kuala Lumpur. Both incidents are believed to have been attempts to cause fear and disrupt public safety.
