SHAH ALAM, Oct 22 — A man’s dissatisfaction with the lack of service at a goldsmith shop allegedly led him to bring his pet dog inside a shopping complex in Section 14 on Thursday (October 17), according to the police.
Shah Alam district police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said that investigations into the 11.20 am incident that went viral on social media revealed that the 52-year-old suspect had left his dog tied outside the building and went to the goldsmith shop to purchase a piece of gold.
