Assalamualaikum I'm a Malaysian, and I too am sorry that this incident took place. From my country's reports, the guys who did this were none but thugs. They demanded the Somali gave his cellphone and money, and some saw the criminals were drinking. Here: http://thestaronline.com/news/story.asp?file=/2009 /1/24/nation/3109370&sec=nation states the police already took action on the case. I'd like to state that Malaysians don't harbor any ill feelings towards Somalis. Like any other country, sure there are some racists here and there, but no normal Malaysian would resort to this sick act.
