Thugs hired to ‘take care of things’


PUTRAJAYA: The thugs who roughed up devotees at the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple were hired and paid between RM150 and RM300 each, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The Home Minister said police investigations revealed that the scuffle, which occurred in the wee hours of Nov 26, stemmed from a dispute between the temple’s committee and a developer, who is the owner of the land where the temple is located.
