Midnight riot near Muar surau over gambling loss leaves four injured, four arrested
MUAR: A violent riot believed to have stemmed from a gambling dispute erupted in the early hours this morning near a surau in Taman Sakeh, leaving four men hospitalised and four others in custody. The melee, involving an estimated 20 individuals, broke out around 12.50am and quickly escalated into a weapon-wielding clash that shocked residents along Jalan Sakeh. Initial investigations revealed the fight was triggered by dissatisfaction over a bet gone sour. District police chief Assistant Commissioner Raiz Mukhlis Aziz Azman said the suspects turned aggressive after losing a wager during an illegal gambling session, which led to a brutal confrontation. "Four individuals have been arrested, while four others sustained serious injuries and are currently receiving treatment at a nearby hospital. The remaining suspects are still at large," he said in a statement today. Police have classified the case under Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting with weapons, along with Sections 326 and 307 for causing grievous hurt and attempted murder, respectively. Raiz said efforts to trace and apprehend the remaining suspects are ongoing and urged anyone with information to contact investigation officer Inspector Erwine Pedaron at 013-760 9454. He cautioned the public against spreading unverified claims that could stir anxiety within the community. "Let the police conduct a thorough investigation. Speculation serves no one and only disrupts public order," he said. Police patrols in the area have since been stepped up to ensure no further disturbances occur.
