REMBAU: Four foreign workers were injured, including one with a broken right hand, after five robbers struck at their house in Kampung Senama, Tanjung Keling, here at 3.50 am today.
Rembau police chief DSP Shaik Abd Kadar Shaik Mohamed said in what was a violent attack, five masked and armed men broke down the door of the shared house and proceeded to beat up the victims, comprising three Bangladeshi nationals and one from Myanmar, aged 21 to 45 years.
“A doctor’s examination later found that three of the foreigners had head injuries and received several stitches, while another suffered a broken right hand and was referred to the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital.
