Police seek man in National Day scuffle
Authorities in Putrajaya are asking a man believed to have triggered a disturbance during the 69th National Day celebrations on Monday to surrender himself to assist with investigations.
Putrajaya police chief ACP Aidi Sham Mohamed said the police have received four reports concerning the incident, which unfolded at Dataran Putrajaya. He urged the man to come forward to the Putrajaya District Police Headquarters.
According to Aidi Sham, police detected a two-minute and 18-second video uploaded to Facebook by an account holder named 'Anwar Captain Goose'. The footage allegedly shows a man in an orange or brown shirt provoking and pushing several people who were waiting for the seating area gates to open. The shoving caused a scuffle that led to several individuals falling.
The incident is believed to have occurred around 5am on Monday (Aug 31). Aidi Sham also appealed to the public to provide any information that could assist the investigation.
Police are investigating the case under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955.
Viral footage on social media showed a man attempting to jump over a perimeter fence to enter the seating area during the celebrations, according to reports.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
