Political observer among six arrested over Taman Midah brawl

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 11 — A political observer was among six men arrested for a fight at a restaurant in Taman Midah, Cheras, early yesterday morning.

Cheras district police chief ACP Zam Halim Jamaluddin said the suspects, between 30 to 40 years old, were arrested around Cheras at about 9pm on the same day.

“Preliminary investigations indicate 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 4am 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 the suspects were remanded for two days starting today under Section 148 of the Penal Code.
