Brawl in Taman Medan Jaya nothing to do with race, say cops
Selangor police chief Shazeli Kahar says the incident stemmed from dissatisfaction over the cutting off of electricity to business premises suspected of operating illegally.
Selangor police chief Shazeli Kahar has stated that a recent brawl at Taman Medan Jaya in Petaling Jaya was not related to race, but rather stemmed from dissatisfaction with housing management's decision to cut off electricity supply. During a press conference, Shazeli confirmed that the electricity supply to suspected illegal business premises had been disconnected.
He explained that a man requested the electricity to be reconnected on October 9, but his request was disregarded. The man subsequently brought friends to confront the management and area residents. Five men were arrested and released on bail following the incident, and the investigation is still ongoing. The viral video showed individuals involved in the altercation, with one man holding a parang.
Separately, police have not yet received new information to identify a man found in the wheel-well of an airplane at KLIA Terminal 2 on August 27. The individual had been missing for over three days before his body was discovered.
