“A review of past records found that the suspects have no record of past offences“, he said in a statement yesterday.

Ku Mashariman said the suspect was remanded for 3 days starting yesterday to assist the investigation in accordance with Section 36(1) of the Arms Act 1960.

“Polis Jaya advises the public not to buy or possess fake weapons on purpose because it is against the law“, he said.

Netizens are confused

In the comments, netizens question the necessity of the arrest as the weapons were merely toys, hence would not cause any harm.

They asked about what would happen to children’s toy guns as they are commonly sold in the market, to which one person responded, “If it looks exactly like a real weapon, then it’s not allowed. Only kids’ toys are allowed“.
