All parties have been reminded not to take matters into their own hands following another incident where a Molotov cocktail was hurled at a KK Mart convenience store in Sungai Isap, Kuantan, at 5am today.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the public should respect and abide by the legal process if there is any misconduct.
"We will take action against those who commit such acts, especially those involving violence.
"This is a peaceful country. Do not use racial or religious issues to disrupt order in the country.
“I have also instructed the police to not compromise in this matter," he said after attending the Madani Sarawak 2024 Breaking Fast ceremony today.
The arson attack on the KK Mart branch in Sungai Isap caused a small fire in front of the convenience store's entrance.
Previously, a KK Mart branch at Jalan Bruseh, Bidor, Perak, also suffered a similar fate.
Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the police will deploy all forces to control and maintain public order in the country following the incident.
Separately, on the registration of the Central Database Hub (Padu) in Sarawak, Anwar said all issues regarding registration can be discussed amicably.
"The registration of Padu in Sarawak and discussions are good. There are several concerns that we have received, and we will address them accordingly,” he added.
