Tumpat: Police have confirmed receiving a report regarding a fight between a group of men at a laundromat in Pasir Pekan, Tumpat, which went viral on Facebook at 1:40 pm yesterday.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Tumpat District Police Chief, ACP Mohd Khairi Shafie, said they received the report at 5:14 pm from a female police officer stationed at the Wakaf Bharu Police Station after she saw a video clip of the incident uploaded to the Facebook page 'Kelantan Post'.
