The public is warned not to spread rumours about racial riots and fights in the district.
Acting Selangor police chief Datuk A. Thaiveegan today issued a stern warning to those who spread false information about the alleged existence of racial riots and fighting in the area.
He said the rumours spread after an accident and attack on two motorcyclists on Wednesday which resulted in a bloody fight involving two groups at Flat Rebana, Bandar Bukit Raja here on Thursday night.
Following the attack which left seven individuals injured, rumours of revenge motivated racial fights and unrest especially in Meru and Kapar spread like wildfire through SMS and social media.
Thaiveegan said a thorough investigation would be conducted to identify individuals responsible for spreading the rumour and the police has also referred to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for further action.
He said police had picked up five suspects involved in the fight and stationed officers to monitor the area.
In a separate incident, three men were seriously injured after they were attacked by 10 men in an incident at Taman Ismail Sungai Pinang here.
The European-made Scorpene submarine is the first of two commissioned for a combined total of $961 mln
Malaysia's first submarine KD Tunku Abdul Rahman docked at Port Klang after its arrival this morning.
Malaysia's first submarine KD Tunku Abdul Rahman docked at Port Klang after its arrival this morning.
Malaysia's first ever submarine was delivered Thursday to colourful fanfare and a royal visitor, in an acquisition that the government said "completes" the country's navy.
The European-made Scorpene submarine is the first of two commissioned from French contractor DCNS and Spain's Navantia for a combined total of 3.4 billion ringgit (961 million dollars).
The second submarine is scheduled for delivery in late 2009.
The KD Tunku Abdul Rahman, named after the nation's first prime minister, sailed into a grand reception at the navy's deepwater Pulau Indah base in Port Klang, an hour's drive from the capital Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysian King Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin was given a tour of the submarine, which set sail 54 days ago from the French port of Toulon, where the vessel was built.
Naval officials said the submarine would be based in Sabah state, on Borneo island, where it will undergo fine-tuning before it is deployed in search and rescue and military exercises.
The two submarines have long attracted controversy since the deal was signed in 2002.
Malaysia's opposition claims that a 540-million-ringgit commission was paid to a close associate of now-Premier Najib Razak in brokering the deal.
The prime minister, who also attended Thursday's ceremony, has denied there was any corruption in the deal, which was made when he was defence minister.
------------------------
The first submarine, KD Tunku Abdul Rahman, is named after Malaysia's first prime minister.
Both submarines can undertake a wide range of missions, including naval blockades, information-gathering and landing or retrieval of commandos.
They can operate alone or in combination with air and sea forces.
The new generation diesel-powered Scorpene has been hailed as a benchmark in the world conventional submarine market.
It is capable of operating in coastal waters and the high seas. It is armed with wire-guided torpedoes and Exocet SM39 sub-launched, anti-surface-ship missiles.
Malaysia is the second customer for the vessel after Chile, while India is acquiring it under a slightly different deal since it is building it in its own dockyard under licence.
