Molotov cocktail hurled at Ngeh’s house: Allow police to investigate matter thoroughly - Saifuddin

PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) has called for the public to let the police conduct a thorough investigation into the incident involving a molotov cocktail being thrown at the residence of Beruas MP Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham in Ayer Tawar, Perak today.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (pix) said the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today unanimously condemned the incident.

“The public is requested not to make any assumptions or preliminary conclusions about this incident until the PDRM carries out a complete investigation.

“It should be noted acting recklessly without considering the law is an offence that, if proven, can incur severe penalties,“ he said in a special press conference here today.

Perak Police chief Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri is reported to have said that the police were actively tracking the individual suspected of throwing a Molotov cocktail at Ngeh’s house, which caused three vehicles to be damaged.

Mohd Yusri said the case was investigated under Section 435 of the Penal Code for mischief by fire. -Bernama
