[1] On 26 November 2018 around 2:40 am, the Subang Jaya District Police Headquarters (IPD) Operations Room received a call from the public about the commotion incident at the temple.
Therefore, at 3:30 am, the Subang Jaya District Police Chief contacted the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) and the Serdang IPD to seek additional assistance from members.
[2] Around 1:00 pm, a male foreigner believed to be a construction worker was raided and beaten by the crowd until he was injured after allegedly starting a fire in a shared house in the temple area.
[3] Chairman of the Task Force of the temple of S. Ramaji has claimed that the invasion was carried out around 2:00 am conducted by about 250 people from among the Malays and foreigners armed with knives, machetes, axes, sticks and others.
[1][6][7] There was also a viral video footage showing two motorcyclists being beaten by rioters while passing through the street in front of the temple but were rescued and they lodged a police report shortly thereafter.
[8] At 9:00 am, a survey around the temple and the developer's premises found that the situation had calmed down and was under control as guaranteed by the Selangor Police Chief, Datuk Mazlan Mansor.
[9] Around 10:45 pm, there were about 80 Malays assembled and marched towards the main road in front of the temple, although the police had made a fortress to stop their advance and control the group.
[14] The Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has stressed that the riot incident in the temple area is a crime and not a racial or religious issue.
[15] The second riot also saw the serious injury of an emergency respondent, Muhammad Adib bin Mohd Kassim, who was a firefighter based at the Subang Jaya Fire Station.
[16][17] Adib was one of nine respondents to the second temple riot that was attacked when they arrived in the area in an attempt to put out the fire, and he was the only one to suffer injuries as a result of being beaten by a group of unknown rioters.
[28][29] While Minister of Housing and Local Government, Zuraida Kamaruddin visited the severely injured firefighter, she was reported to have said that Adib had been “beaten and trampled” causing ribs fracture and internal injuries.
He also claimed that the statement issued by the Subang Jaya District Police that the cause of the riot was a misunderstanding between the two Indian groups over the relocation of the temple was false.
[43] In response, an NGO known as Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) organized a protest involving about 5,000 people in the Klang on December 25, 2018, a week after the death of Adib.
[49] The inquest proceedings ended on September 27, 2019, when the Shah Alam Coroner's Court, Selangor ruled that the cause of Adib's death was due to criminal acts by two or more unknown individuals.
