TWO more arrests were made today over a brawl that took place in Tampoi last Saturday, raising the total number of suspects  to 14, police said.

North Johor Baru district police chief Balveer Singh said all 14 arrested were local citizens comprising 13 men and a woman aged between 15 and 36.

“The application for the remand of two more individuals currently arrested will be made tomorrow at the Johor Baru court,” he said today.

He said police investigations would be carried out in a transparent manner according to the law without any fear or favour.

Johor police chief Kamarul Zaman Mamat, who also called on the public to not speculate on the incident, was reported today as saying police are still investigating the cause of the fight, adding that strict action will be taken against the instigator.

The case is being investigated under sections 148, 365 and 385 of the penal code. – Bernama, May 30, 2023.
