KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 — Eight men were slapped with compounds totalling RM24,000 for gathering and participating in group silat activities at a house in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya early today.
Seven of them were compounded RM2,000 each for gathering while the house owner was issued an RM10,000 compound for hosting the activity, district police chief ACP Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said.
