Knife-wielding man sparks fear among Keningau residents

KENINGAU: The presence of a knife-wielding man wandering around the district has sparked deep concern and fear among local residents.

A resident Faiz Nasir expressed anxiety after spotting the man, who was not only carrying a dangerous weapon but also intentionally creating a tense and noisy atmosphere by shouting at passers-by.

According to him, the individual’s aimless roaming frequently disturbs public peace and instils fear in local residents who are worried about the safety of their families and children.

The situation has left the community living in dread, fearing that the man’s actions could escalate out of control at any moment if he is left to roam freely without authority intervention.

In light of this, residents, particularly Faiz, are appealing to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and local authorities to take immediate and appropriate action, including conducting regular patrols and detaining the man.

Swift and decisive action is urgently needed to prevent any untoward incidents and restore peace and order in Keningau.
