Johor Bahru North police chief Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh says the man will be charged with voluntarily causing hurt.
Screengrabs from videos of an incident in which a man was allegedly slapped for eating in public during the fasting month.
PETALING JAYA: The elderly man who allegedly slapped a non-Muslim for eating in public during Ramadan will be charged in the Johor Bahru magistrates’ court on Wednesday.
Johor Bahru North police chief Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh said the 65-year-old would be charged under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt.
He said the suspect faces up to two years imprisonment, a RM2,000 fine or both if convicted.
“The investigation paper was referred to the deputy public prosecutor’s office today, and we have received an order for him to be charged tomorrow.
“Preliminary investigations found that the suspect is a local man with no previous criminal record,” he said.
Previously, Johor police chief M Kumar said a statement was taken yesterday from the man, as well as from his son and several other witnesses, to help complete the investigation.
A video of the incident went viral after the victim made a post on social media yesterday, explaining what had happened.
He said he had also filed a police report over the incident.
Kumar said the victim was also sent to the hospital for a medical examination.
In his post on X, the victim said he was having a meal at a convenience store in a Johor Bahru shopping mall when a man asked him if he was Chinese.
When he replied that he was, the man demanded to see his MyKad. He claimed that after he refused to do so, the man became angry and slapped him several times.
He said the elderly man’s son defused the situation and apologised on his behalf.
The victim also said in his post that he accepted the apology by the man’s son, but still needed to make a police report as it was a physical assault in a public place.
KUALA LUMPUR, March 18, 2025: Racial and religious bigots have done it again - inflicting international shame to Malaysia.
International news website Finance Twitter has posted a damning article on the slapping incident in a Family Mart in a mall in Johor of a Malay man assaulting a Chinese undergraduate for eating in public during the current fasting month.
And Finance Twitter wrote this: Interestingly, Johor Bahru Utara district police chief ACP Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh urged members of the public who have information related to the incident to come forward and assist the investigation. Clearly, this is a hint that this case could be swept under the carpet again. With the video clips going viral and a police report lodged by the victim, what other information Mr Balveer Singh still needs before he has the balls to charge the culprit?

Indians Forced To Eat In Toilet – Now, Chinese Slapped For Eating At Mall – Non-Malays Always Get Bullied, Discriminated & Oppressed
18 March, 2025
According to Finance Twitter , Malaysia is perhaps the only country on the planet that will always see cases of Malay-Muslims bullying non-Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan. To be fair, it only happens in Peninsular Malaysia (West Malaysia) while the people of Sabah and Sarawak (East Malaysia) continue to foster true racial and religious harmony, thanks to the South China Sea which separated both.
The latest incident of such bullying involved an ethnic Chinese man who was slapped by a Malay in a mall in Johor Bahru. Caught in a video clip, apparently the middle-aged Malay-Muslim confronted the Chinese, whom he suspected was a Malay-Muslim eating during Ramadan. The Malay demanded the 21-year-old Chinese to produce his identification card to prove his race and religion.
Refused to be intimidated, the victim declined to do so, leading to an argument before he was slapped twice by the despicable Malay dressed in religious garb. The Chinese man was absolutely right to reject the demand to produce his identification card as only authorities such as police officers have the authority to request identification. Even if the Chinese youth was a Muslim, the Malay has no right to act violently and illegally.
The incident, which happened on March 16 around 3:45pm at Family Mart in Angsana Mall, Johor Bahru, has been reported to the police. The case is being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code for intentionally causing injury, and if found guilty, the offender can be sentenced to imprisonment for up to one year or fined up to RM2,000 or both. However, don’t bet your money that the Malay man will get the punishment he deserves.
This is yet another classic example where “Ketuanan Melayu”, the ideology of Malay supremacy espoused by the corrupt and racist UMNO, has produced generations of radicals and extremists groomed to threaten, belittle, insult, bully, oppress and attack non-Malays. In most cases, such bullies would be given a slap on the wrist by the authorities as long as they are Malay-Muslims.
Even though the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) was defeated in the May 2018 General Election, the Malay nationalist party is back to business as it is now part of a multi-coalition ruling government called the Unity Government led by Anwar Ibrahim, the 10th Prime Minister who has been keeping silent whenever non-Malays are targeted by Malays.
Like it or not, racism and extremism are getting worse, largely because PM Anwar was terrified of offending the Malay-Muslims whenever there is a conflict between the majority and minority ethnic. Desperate to appease the Malay voters, about 80% of whom did not vote for him, Anwar’s recipe is to pretend that nothing had happened – until it’s too late.
Mr Anwar might think it was a brilliant tactic not to respond to any racist or extremist provocations. But it has only emboldened an increasing group of ultra-Malays brainwashed into thinking that Malaysia belongs to the Malays only so they can do whatever hell they like, including slapping the Chinese for not respecting the fasting month by eating.
Interestingly, Johor Bahru Utara district police chief ACP Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh urged members of the public who have information related to the incident to come forward and assist the investigation. Clearly, this is a hint that this case could be swept under the carpet again. With the video clips going viral and a police report lodged by the victim, what other information Mr Balveer Singh still needs before he has the balls to charge the culprit?
It is also a slap in the face of the Sultanate of Johor as the violence occurred in the state which the monarch brags about the superiority of “Bangsa Johor” concept, which supposedly promotes the unity of Johoreans of all races and religions. Sultan Ibrahim of Johor has also previously stressed the importance of racial harmony and mutual respect for the prosperous and united Johor.
“I don’t want my Bangsa Johor to be confused and begin turning on each other. I cannot emphasize enough the need for racial understanding, unity and tolerance” – said Sultan Ibrahim in 2023. As early as 2015, the Johor Sultan warned that Johoreans who practise hatred and racism must leave the state. But it appears there are truckloads of Bangsa Johor who didn’t get the memo.
To make matters worse, the Crown Prince of Johor – Tunku Ismail Idris – was plunged into an episode of bullying when his royal police bodyguard was caught punching a deaf Grab driver, Ong Ing Keong last year. The best part is after more than five months since the Chinese victim was assaulted, Magistrate Farah Nabihah Muhamad only dared to slap the despicable royal police escort with a fine of RM1,000.
But this is not the first time non-Malays have been victimised by Malays during Ramadan. In 2013 during the Najib Razak administration, a primary school – SK Seri Pristana – in Sungai Buloh, Selangor, near Petaling Jaya, attracted world attention when the school ordered Indian students to eat in a toilet instead of canteen due to the fasting month Ramadan.
After the despicable and inhumane incident exploded in alternative news media, then-Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin ordered an investigation into the matter, claiming he would take action. Of course, nothing had happened because “Ketuanan Melayu” always wins and non-Malays always get bullied, discriminated and oppressed.
The confrontation and provocation by the Malay in Johor has tarnished Islam as the religion does not teach Muslims to control others about their own hunger. Besides, what the heck was he doing in a food establishment during fasting hours? It also sparked the question about religious policing by civilians, which could be inspired by the notorious Islamic Development Department Malaysia (Jakim).
Flushed with more than RM2 billion, thanks to Anwar’s generous allocation to boost his Islam credentials, the arrogant and extremist Jakim has been trying to force unreasonable and ridiculous rules on non-Muslims, including mandating halal certification on all food operators as well as new rules for Muslims attending non-Muslims celebrations or festivals.

JOHOR BAHRU – Police have confirmed that they are investigating an incident where a non-Muslim was scolded and slapped while eating at a convenience store in a shopping mall during Ramadan.
Johor Bharu North Officer Commanding Police Director Balveer Singh said they spotted a video on X showing a verbal altercation between two men at a business premises.
“A 21-year-old local man lodged a police report at 9.08pm on March 17. Investigations revealed that the incident occurred at around 3.45pm that day at a shopping mall here.”
“The victim alleged that he was slapped twice on the right cheek by an unknown man,” he added on March 18.
Mr Singh said the dispute was believed to have started when the suspect asked about the complainant’s religion and requested to see his Malaysia identity card.
When the victim refused, the situation escalated. “The case is being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt,” he added.
He reminded the public to abide by the law and act rationally to avoid resorting to violence.
State Islamic religious affairs committee chairman Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid advised people not to take matters into their own hands.
He said the Muslim man’s alleged slapping of the young man in public is against the teachings of Islam and a violation of the law.
“While preventing wrongdoing is commendable, we must first verify the facts. Islam teaches us to investigate matters carefully before making any judgment.
“No one has the right to punish others. If there is a concern, report it to us, and we will investigate, issue notices, or take legal action, if necessary,” he told reporters after inspecting food outlets at the Pandan wholesale market on March 17.
Bernama news agency quoted National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang as saying that the incident was an act of provocation that went against the spirit of unity and harmony in Malaysia’s multicultural society. THE STAR/ ASIA NEWS NETWORK

A non-Muslim man was recently slapped by a Pak Cik for eating publicly during Ramadan.
In a viral X post, Elijah shared his experience of being confronted by a man who asked if he was a Muslim, to which Elijah said he wasn’t. The man, however, was not satisfied with the response.
He allegedly asked Elijah to show his identification card (IC) to prove that he was indeed a non-Muslim

Elijah, who was eating at a convenience store inside a mall in Johor Bahru, refused to produce his IC. The pair argued a little before the uncle slapped Elijah, who told the uncle that he would lodge a police report if he was slapped again.
In his video, the uncle was seen slapping Elijah once, although he stated in his post that he was slapped a few times.
The uncle was with his son, and according to Elijah, his son tried to calm the situation and apologised on his father’s behalf. While Elijah accepted the apology, he couldn’t let the matter go.
“The Pak Cik disrespected me and slapped me in public. I cannot let this matter go.”

The Minister of National Unity, Aaron Ago Dagang, responded to the matter via an X post
Aaron said that Elijah had reported the matter at the Tampoi Police Station in Johor, and the matter is being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt.
“This is a provocation that does not reflect the unity and harmony of our country.”
“Our country can only develop if we unite and respect each other. We can live peacefully without any racial tension.”
Aaron also hopes that all Malaysians can be polite while interacting with each other, and said he is strictly against any form of violence, discrimination, and prejudice that could affect the harmony in Malaysia.
In an official statement by PDRM in Johor, the police confirmed that they had received a report from the 21-year-old victim and are investigating the matter which took place on March 16.
The police also said that if found guilty, the suspect may face jail time of up to one year or a fine of up to RM2,000.
