JOHOR, MALAYSIA — Recently, footage of a brawl involving a group of individuals in Malaysia circulated on social media.

A 28-second video went viral on Facebook and WhatsApp, showing a male using a helmet to hit another individual, while others kicked the victim’s face.

The victim curled on the ground while being kicked, and some shouted derogatory remarks like, “Stupid Chinese! You die! Dare to hit Malay!”

The brawl is said to have started when one student threw a pencil eraser at another student in school

The brawl reportedly began when a student threw a pencil eraser at another student in a secondary school in the Kempas area of Johor Bahru, leading to the altercation between them.

The incident escalated when one of the parties involved called individuals from outside the school to join the fight.

In fact, according to a statement by ACP Balveer Singh, the Chief of North Johor Bahru District Police on 25 May, the police had already dealt with these students and made several arrests.

Police investigation revealed that the incident originated from the dissatisfaction of a student who had been hit by an eraser thrown by a classmate on 23 May.

As a result, several school students required medical treatment at the hospital for head injuries, leg bruises, and hand wounds.

JB Police arrested 14 individuals so far

As of Tuesday (30 May), the Malaysian police have arrested a total of 14 individuals to assist in the investigation of the brawl in the Tampoi area of Johor Bahru that occurred last Saturday (27 May).

ACP Balveer Singh, stated that those arrested were locals, consisting of 13 men and one woman aged between 15 and 36 years old.

“The request for the remand of the two additional individuals who were arrested will be made tomorrow at the Johor Bahru Court,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.

He emphasized that the police investigation is transparent and unwavering, conducted in accordance with existing laws, and advised the public not to engage in speculation that could cause confusion in the community.

Johor police denied involvement of secret societies in the incident

Earlier, the Johor Police Chief, Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat, stated that all those arrested were local residents aged between 17 and 35 years old.

“So far, only one person is still receiving treatment at the hospital due to several injuries,” Kamarul Zaman told the press on 30 May, as reported by Malaysian state news agency Bernama.

Kamarul Zaman refuted any involvement of secret societies in the incident. He emphasized that the investigation into the cause of the brawl is still ongoing, and he urged the public to refrain from engaging in speculations concerning the incident.

建国一代老人露宿逾两月 毕博渊归咎“体制疏忽”欠人文关怀

政治工作者毕博渊日前揭露,一名建国一代年长者,被迫在红山景熟食中心露宿逾两个月。 毕博渊在3月20日的一则脸书贴文中透露,这名名为林启坤(译音)老人的境遇,是“制度规划不当”和“体制疏忽”下的受害者。 他说,过去的林启坤,也曾住在租赁组屋,但是他被安排和一位不相识的年长者同居。这位屋友患有中风而行动不便,结果林启坤还要负责照顾他,无形中增加额外经济负担,也没有其他人可以介入帮忙。 63岁曾入狱 林启坤因为经济压力,走投无路下一时行差踏错去犯罪,结果在63岁那年,被判监禁10年。后因行为良好,在不久前他获准提早出狱,现已70岁的他,出狱后却无处可去,只好露宿小贩中心。 毕博渊补充,林启坤还有位哥哥,但似乎因为一些建屋局的条规,他们俩无法住在一起。林启坤哥哥在八年前卖掉组屋,但是根据建屋局条规,似乎卖掉组屋10年内,都不能跟政府申请租屋。 毕博渊也声称,林启坤曾向丹绒巴葛集选区议员祖安清心和建屋发展局求助,但都未得到回音。 “照老人的描述,各个单位只是跟他阐述各种条规,如踢球般把他转给其他部门或议员,却没有解决方案。比起一位急需救助的建国一代老人,他们似乎更重视繁文缛节,显得缺乏人文关怀。” 毕博渊说,他所理解的祖安清心应是有爱心的人,何以在她选区之下,却无法为老人做到任何事情? 建屋局:今年一月已接洽老人 针对毕博渊的质问,建屋局则在本月27日发文澄清,毕博渊指没有公共机构对林启坤伸出援手,是不确实的。 建屋局指出,该局和社会及家庭发展部旗下的社会服务中心,早在今年一月就已接洽并了解林启坤的处境。在本月1日就19日,也接获祖安清心针对林启坤租屋申请的跟进询问。…

“应在第一时间取证” 尚穆根坦言警方处理巴蒂案存疏失

内政暨律政部长尚穆根坦言,警方在处理前女佣巴蒂案中存在疏失。廖文良一家报案后,理应第一时间就前往查看物证,但办案警员却没有这么做。 巴蒂是在2016年10月28日被解雇,雇主廖文良儿子廖启龙,给他箱子限他两小时内收拾东西,当天即送返印尼。不料廖文良父子却在两日后报警,指巴蒂盗窃。 然而吊诡当时,迟至2016年12月3日,也就是廖文良报警五周后,才前往廖家取证。据了解是因为负责警员“工作忙碌和私人原因”。这段期间,廖家仍能继续使用这些物证。尚穆根称,这已违反法律要求的办案程序,也没能确保证据的完整、进行适当的记录。 尚穆根指涉事警员已被内部调查,并采取必要行动,惟未透露是否对其作出惩处。 对于高庭指责,警方在庭上向巴蒂展示的物证照片是黑白照、警方录取口供也出现文法错误,尚穆根指警方已接受高庭的建议。
