In Kota Baru, a magistrate ordered a seven-day remand for three Rohingya workers, one of whom is a woman, and a local employer after an 18-year-old Rohingya man died outside the Taman Desa Kujid Muslim cemetery. The magistrate, Tuan Fakhrul Razzi Abd Hamid, signed the order at the Magistrates' Court, with the remand beginning the following day.
