KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) - Ethnic violence in Myanmar between
Muslims and Buddhists appears to have spilled over into Malaysia, police said
on Wednesday, with four killings in recent days suspected to be linked to the
religious tension.
All the victims, including a man slashed to death by
machete-wielding attackers at a car wash in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, this
week, were Buddhists from Myanmar, said the city's deputy police chief Amar
Singh Ishar Singh.
"We have a
feedback that this may be Myanmar Buddhists and Muslims having a spillover here
in Kuala Lumpur," he told Reuters. "In Myanmar, the Muslims are the victims,
over here the Buddhists are the victims."
Mr Singh said the police had set up a special task force to
deal with the violence in Kuala Lumpur and had arrested about 60 Myanmar
immigrants this week in an attempt to control tensions.
