The police received information about the suspicious object at 7:17pm, prompting a swift response. A team of specialists, including personnel from the Bomb Disposal Unit, K9 Unit, and Kuala Lumpur Police Forensics Unit, was promptly deployed to the location to conduct thorough checks and ensure the area was secured. Subsequent investigations confirmed that the suitcase posed no bomb threat, leading to the suspect's detention for further assistance in the ongoing investigation. The incident, which drew considerable attention on social media platforms such as Threads, prompted the police to advise the public against disseminating unverified information. Individuals with pertinent information were encouraged to contact the Kuala Lumpur police hotline, Dang Wangi police headquarters control centre, or the nearest police station.",
