Red paint on surau: 4 nabbed appear to have acted on impulse, says CPO (Updated)


SEREMBAN: The four teenage boys detained in connection with the splashing of red paint on a new surau were probably retaliating after being told off for playing with fireworks near the surau, police said Tuesday.

Negri Sembilan police chief SAC I Datuk Osman Salleh said based on the initial police probe, the incident had nothing to do with race or religious issues.
