KK Mart incident: PM urges public to not take matters into own hands

KOTA SAMARAHAN, March 30 — All parties are reminded not to take matters into their own hands following another incident where a Molotov cocktail was hurled at a KK Mart convenience store in Sungai Isap, Kuantan at 5am today

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the public should respect and abide by the law if there is any misconduct.

“We will take action against those who commit such acts, especially those involving violence.

“This is a peaceful country. Do not use racial or religious issues to disrupt order in the country. I have also instructed the police to not compromise at all in this matter,” he said after attending the Madani Sarawak 2024 Breaking Fast ceremony today.

During the incident, the Molotov cocktail struck the front of the store’s entrance, causing a small fire.

Previously, a KK Mart branch along Jalan Bruseh in Bidor, Perak, also suffered a similar fate.

Earlier today, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the police will deploy all forces to control and maintain public order in the country following the incident.

Meanwhile, commenting on the registration of the Main Database System (Padu) in Sarawak, Anwar said all issues regarding registration can be discussed amicably.

“The Padu registration (process) in Sarawak and discussions are good. There are several concerns that we have received, and we will address them accordingly. All issues can be discussed amicably,” he said.
