"The OCPD is in good condition after receiving treatment at Kuala Lumpur Hospital. We have detained the three suspects and the investigation is ongoing," he told reporters on Thursday (Sept 11).
The IGP advised the public to remain calm and help safeguard the country's peace and security by verifying information before taking action.
