Two days ago, four men, including a security officer from  development company, One City Development Sdn Bhd, who were involved in the temple incident, pleaded not guilty at the Magistrate’s Court here on a charge of rioting with a dangerous weapon.

Two other men involved in the same incident were sentenced to two months imprisonment and fined RM5,000 on three counts – failing to comply with police orders to disperse, ignoring orders of the police who were overseeing traffic around the temple and failing to produce their identity cards.
