KUALA LUMPUR: A political observer was among six men arrested for a fight at a restaurant in Taman Midah, Cheras, early Sunday morning.
Cheras district police chief ACP Zam Halim Jamaluddin said the suspects, between 30 to 40 years, were arrested around Cheras at about 9 pm the same day.
“Preliminary investigations indicate that the fight was caused by dissatisfaction over a post uploaded by the victim on social media,” he said when contacted today.
The victim was eating with two of their friends at around 4 am when the fight occurred.
“Six local men appeared and began throwing chairs at the victim and their friends and the victim tried to deflect the blows. After that the men immediately left,” he said, adding that the suspects were remanded for two days from today under Section 148 of the Penal Code.–Bernama
