Police forced to quell mini riot in Tenom


KOTA KINABALU: The crowd went unruly as soon as news broke that nomination for Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) president Datuk Peter Anthony in Sabah’s interior Tenom was rejected, forcing police to fire tear gas at his supporters.

Police reinforcements were also brought in from neighbouring Keningau to control the situation as Anthony’s supporters turned aggressive after they found out that he was unable to contest for the Tenom seat.
