Disagreement Sparks Scuffle In Subang

A scuffle between two groups of people in front of a Hindu temple at USJ 25, Subang Jaya early this morning saw mass chaos and up to 18 cars set on fire.

Several videos of the incident have gone viral, while there are claims that more than 100 armed thugs barged into the temple premises and attacked a small group of devotees guarding the place.
