Two investigations are underway after suspected Molotov cocktail attacks caused minor fires at fences of several homes in Kulai Besar, a Rohingya settlement in Johor. The attacks occurred early Tuesday morning, sparking tensions following the circulation of two viral Facebook videos showing Rohingya residents allegedly challenging Malays and inciting racial unrest.
Johor police chief Datuk Ab Rahaman Arsad confirmed that police received a report of the fire at around 1:30am and determined that it was caused by Molotov cocktails thrown at the homes of the Rohingya residents. However, no injuries or further damage were reported. Police are investigating the incidents under multiple sections of the Penal Code, as well as the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. Anyone with information is urged to contact the police.
