SUBANG JAYA, Nov 27 ― The Sri Maha Mariamman Devasthanam temple at USJ 25 in Putra Heights was a mess for the second morning in a row.

Traffic cones were strewn all over the place and the charred remains of a car turned upside down was left inside the temple grounds.

Malay Mail understands that the vehicle is a company car owned by One City Sdn Bhd, the property developer which owns the land that the temple sits on.

Several volunteers are on 24-hour guard at the temple, after a series of unruly acts yesterday, which saw the temple and One City's office being vandalised.

Malay Mail spotted a van in flames outside the MCT Tower, located close to the temple, at 7am, but did not see anyone else nearby. The flames were soon doused by rain.

Groups of people had gathered at the temple late last night, but tempers soon flared and the assembly became chaotic with acts of vandalism committed.

At about 2.10am, a group marched from the temple to MCT Tower located 1km down the road and began hurling stones and smashing the building’s glass facade.

In the scuffle, one of the mob grabbed Malay Mail photographer Mohamad Azinuddin Ghazali camera and forcibly removed the memory card. Another person threw a fist-sized stone in Azinuddin’s but did not injure him.
