KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Tuesday (Nov 27) vowed tough action against those responsible for the riots at a Hindu temple in Selangor.
"The criminals involved attempted to riot and injure security and rescue service personnel and damage public property, and they will be dealt with severely according to the law.
“The masterminds behind this incident, if there are any, will not escape the appropriate punishment,” he said in a statement.
Mahathir added that based on preliminary investigations, there were no racial or religious element in the incidents, although it involved the relocation of Sri Maha Mariamman temple.
“Once again, I emphasise that the riot is a criminal incident and has nothing to do with other elements,” he said, adding that people should not listen to rumours and spread them irresponsibly.
