The man had attacked two policemen at the Ulu Tiram police station early on May 17, before he was fatally shot by a third police officer.
The move is seen as a warning to members of the local community to not get involved in similar acts to the attacker, and as a sign of hatred of the man’s actions in killing police officers in charge of the nation’s security, said the Islamic affairs committee.The decision was made during a committee meeting on May 17 chaired by Johor’s mufti Yahya Ahmad.
He was buried at around 12.30pm on May 20 during a restricted ceremony, with police officers guarding the entrance to the Sungai Tiram Islamic Cemetery.
