The incident occurred at a vacant lot near the OUG Community Hall in Kuala Lumpur, where police arrested three men after a scuffle. One of the suspects allegedly verbally abused and physically attacked a woman, threatening further harm and causing trouble at her workplace. All three men, aged 20 to 26, had prior criminal records. Kok called for stronger enforcement measures to combat the issue, urging cooperation between the police and the Kuala Lumpur mayor to dismantle such syndicates in the capital.",
