camp
2 September 2013
REMBAU: Police detained 19 National
Service (NS) trainees who were involved in a fight at the Titian
Bintangor camp canteen here on Saturday.
District police chief Deputy
Superintendent Mizan Md Dom said the fight was between two groups of
trainees aged between 17 and 22.
The cause of the fight has yet to be
established. Six trainees suffered minor injuries to the faces, hands
and fingers and were given outpatient treatment.
"We picked up the 19 youths
involved in the fight after a report was lodged."
Mizan said the case had been classified
as rioting, under Section 148 of the Penal Code and that the
detainees had been remanded.
He said police had contacted the
families of the detained trainees and they expressed dissatisfaction
over how the camp management had dealt with the incident.
"They hoped the management would
be more responsible and wise in solving problems at the camp to
ensure such an incident will not recur."
The father of one of the detainees, Ng
See Heong, 42, said his 18-year old son had called him about 4am
yesterday to inform him that he was detained by the police.
"I was shocked and immediately
rushed there. Other parents who were there also lodged a report over
the camp's negligence in managing the programme."
Ng said his son had entered the camp
two weeks ago and claimed that he was being bullied by other
trainees.
"After he told me about the
matter, he also informed the camp commander for action to be taken.
"The camp management should act
swiftly and take the trainees' and their families' complaints
seriously to avoid such an incident from happening."
