Bomb threat at JB’s Mid Valley Southkey a hoax
Johor police chief Ab Rahaman Arsad says several suspicious objects found on site contained no explosive materials.
On September 14, Johor police conducted an inspection at a business premises in The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey, following a bomb threat received via email earlier that night. The threat was later confirmed to be a hoax after no explosives were found during the police examination. Johor police chief Datuk Ab Rahaman Arshad informed that the Bomb Disposal Unit (UPB) from the Johor police contingent headquarters and the South Johor Bahru district police headquarters were deployed to the scene upon receiving information from the mall's management at 11:31pm.
The UPB team inspected both the interior and exterior of the building, discovering several suspicious objects but none containing explosive materials. The area was declared completely safe, and the police emphasized the gravity of any threat involving explosives, urging the public not to speculate or spread unverified information to prevent confusion.
