According to New Straits Times, two men, ages 29 and 37, claimed they wanted to meet the prince Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar and attempted to enter the house element via the Jalan Sultan Abdul Halim doorway at about 4.40pm on Friday.
However, according to the report, officers located a knife in their car and made their arrests, adding that they are currently being looked into for legal trespass and unlawful possession of an offensive weapon.
Prof. Ahmad Fauzi said the incidents reflected humanity’s dissatisfaction with the nation’s financial affairs and potential danger to Islam, but he also argued that investigations should focus on the actual causes.
These angry individuals may also be using lax security measures at police facilities in the country to attack them as expert characters who interact with the public, he said.
” Although the chances of success ( in these incidents ) are very slim, the suspects get what they want- probably fame, publicity and later even chances to get interviewed by the media”, he added.
Life ON EDGE
The spate of incidents, according to Dr. Haezreena Begum Abdul Hamid, a scholar and assistant professor of the law faculty at Universiti Malaya, keeps people watching for what might come next.
She wrote in a remark published by the local press on Monday that” this is definitely not a good emotional state we are in nor does this provide us a reprieve from the horrifying event at Ulu Tiram police station or the time to grieve over the affair.”
Dr. Haezreena argued that it is necessary to investigate whether violence is contagious, such as whether there is a propensity to commit similar acts in the wake of a significant violence, such as the police station attack in Ulu Tiram.
” Can we also assume that the acts that followed the Ulu Tiram event were attempts to gain reputation from the perpetrators, or were just acts of bully, given that they are on large notice?” she asked.
