A fight erupted at the Pakatan Harapan command centre following news of Dr S Streram's defeat in the Rantau by-election.

Tempers flared when a PKR member from Kuala Lumpur blamed local members for the outcome, and this resulted in a shouting match where expletives were hurled.

Within minutes, the situation escalated and punches were thrown.

KiniTV reporter Daniel Anthony, who was present at the centre, was told to stop recording the scuffle and his mobile phone was snatched from his hand.
