KOTA SAMARAHAN: All parties are reminded not to take matters into their own hands following another incident whereby a Molotov cocktail was hurled at a KK Super Mart convenience store in Sungai Isap, Kuantan, at 5 am this morning.

Today, another branch of KK Super Mart in Sungai Isap, Kuantan, was hit by a petrol bomb, causing a small fire in front of the convenience store's entrance.
