JOHOR BARU, MALAYSIA: Police have detained three National Service trainees over a brawl that involved 50 other trainees at the Padang Hijau National Service training camp in Kluang near here last night.

He said the parents of the trio, from Johor Baru and Kluang, were notified and had since visited them.

"Police will be holding the trio till Monday. We will see if they can be released on bail then," he said yesterday.

Six trainees sustained injuries on the face, hands and legs after being hit with chairs during the brawl, believed to have started after some teasing among the trainees present at the cafetria.

All the injured were given outpatient treatment at the Kluang Hospital.
