A SINGAPOREAN man was shot several times outside a pub in Johor
Baru early last Saturday morning, but is now in stable condition in
hospital.
Mr Tan Kim Chai, who is in his 50s, was shot by a man whom he
was quarrelling with at about 2.35am.
Johor police chief, Deputy Commissioner Mohd Mokhtar Mohd
Shariff, told Malaysian newspaper The Star that police arrived at
the scene near Jalan Abdullah Tahir after being informed by
eyewitnesses.
The street, which is a 10-minute drive from the JB checkpoint,
is a popular area for nightlife and has many lounges, hostels and
24-hour restaurants.
The suspect is believed to be a Malaysian in his 40s.
Datuk Mohd Mokhtar said both the suspect and the victim have
criminal records on both sides of the Causeway.
