Commotion broke out at SEGi University Kota Damansara in Petaling Jaya this afternoon after a student discovered a suspicious looking object in one of the toilets.
Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Mohd Zani Che Din told Astro AWANI today that police received a phone call around 10am following the discovery of an unattended bag.
He said that police conducted a thorough search in the building and confirmed no such object found.
After being notified by the university about the object, the police prompted some 2,000-odd students and employees to evacuate the campus.
SEGi University deputy vice-chancellor Datuk Prof Jamaludin Mohiadin in a Facebook status had cautioned students that the university will take stern action against any students who were involved in placing the bogus call to the police.
