PETALING JAYA:

 Eight men have been arrested over a brawl at the SkyAvenue shopping mall in Genting Highlands two weeks ago, and police are still tracking down three more suspects.

Bentong police chief Zaiham Kahar said the eight suspects were arrested in Genting Highlands, Kuala Lumpur and Selangor following public tip-offs.

In a statement, he said the eight male suspects comprised five Malaysians and three foreigners, aged between 28 and 61.

“During the arrests, we also confiscated a knife and a metal rod believed to have been used in the incident. All eight suspects are currently under remand for further investigation.

“Police are still tracking down three other individuals,” he said.

Police want to contact Malaysians N Gopala Krishnan, 33, and Khoo Kim Fatt, 43, as well as Chinese national Zhang He.
