#NSTviral: Police families' Sports Day turns briefly brawny
SEGAMAT: What was meant to be a fun-filled sports day ended with more shoving than scoring, after a group of women clad in Perkep jerseys found themselves in a mid-court scuffle that has since gone viral. Perkep, short for Persatuan Keluarga Polis (Police Family Association), is a support organisation made up of police personnel's family members. It runs charity events, raises scholarship funds, and provides soft loans to its members. A widely shared three-minute-and-34-second video, titled "Hari Sukan PERKEP Bertukar Kecoh", showed participants in matching jerseys shoving and shouting during a netball match at the Johor state-level Jementah carnival, held at the Pulapol Segamat open hall on May 24. The video, which was uploaded to YouTube, began making the rounds on social media yesterday. It captured a brief altercation following what appeared to be a disagreement over match rules. District police chief Superintendent Ahmad Zamry Marinsah said that the incident stemmed from alleged violations of game regulations, which sparked tension between the two teams. "The provocation led to some physical contact, but the situation was quickly brought under control. Both sides have since resolved the matter amicably and no untoward incident occurred," Zamry said in a statement yesterday. He added that both parties were called to the Segamat police headquarters to have their statements recorded. Police reports were also lodged confirming that neither side wished to pursue the matter further. "They have formally agreed not to escalate the issue," he said. Zamry urged the public to refrain from circulating the video or making inaccurate comments, particularly as the matter has been peacefully settled.
