'Bomb' found in Sri Petaling turns out to be team-building toy

KUALA LUMPUR - A mystery box that caused alarm in Sri Petaling was found to contain toys, not a bomb, according to police. The box, suspected of containing a bomb, was discovered by a company employee who had accidentally left it outside a pharmacy. The box contained 20 plastic toy blocks from a game called "Radioactive Bomb," which was used for team-building activities.

The employee had been involved in a team-building programme in Ipoh, Perak, on September 11 before returning to Kuala Lumpur. The incident happened because the employee was tired after the programme. Police contacted the company following the discovery, and investigations confirmed that the box contained toys used for team-building purposes.

The game, designed to encourage teamwork and mental agility, had no connection to any criminal activity.
