[Watch] Man Stopped From Bringing Dog Into PKNS Complex After Causing Commotion At Gold Shop

A man untied his dog and tried bringing his pet into the Shah Alam PKNS Complex after causing an argument.

Recently, a viral video showed a man causing a scene outside the PKNS Complex in Shah Alam.

In the clip, the man walked quickly to his dog which was tied outside the building and attempted to bring the dog inside. He was stopped by the security guard and shouts could be heard.

Some reports claimed the man was there to renew his passport. However, according to the police statement, the man actually went to a gold shop to purchase a kilogramme of gold but the staff allegedly didn’t attend to him.

He got mad at the lack of service and shouted expletives at the staff. A commotion broke out and bystanders tried to calm him down near the entrance.

He then stormed out to retrieve his dog to bring into the building but was stopped by the security guard. The security guard eventually escorted the man and the dog out of the premises.

The incident clearly caused discomfort as the man also went against the rules because PKNS Complex has a long-standing policy against having pets on the premises. The animals often found there are strays or local wildlife that have wandered in.
