KUALA LUMPUR – A large group of armed masked men who allegedly stormed an entertainment outlet in Taman Shamelin, Cheras, a suburb in Malaysia’s capital, is believed to have links with a secret society.
The incident came to light following a minute-long video that went viral, showing the group charging into the premises.
In the clip, a lorry is seen ramming through the main gate of the KTV outlet before the group entered the compound through the breach. The men were seen carrying objects suspected to be iron rods and wooden sticks as they made their way in.
So far, police have not established the motive behind the incident.
Several items within the KTV outlet were reported to have been damaged during the incident.
