PERAK police will question Tapah Umno members in connection with an alleged threat to the political secretary to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department P. Waytha Moorthy.

Tapah District Police chief Wan Azharuddin Wan Ismail said his men will call up the Umno members for their statements.

“We received the report lodged by the political secretary, and we have opened a case under Section 341 of the Penal Code.

“So far we have yet to arrest anyone but we will call them up to record their statement,” Wan Azharuddin told The Malaysian Insight.

 P. Muniandy reported receiving a threat, at the Jalan Travers police station last night.

He said he was stopped while leaving SK Datuk Kelana in Tapah on Monday by an Umno member who introduced himself as Syed Afrizal. 

“I was about to leave the school when the Umno man stopped my car. I was going to another programme but he did not allow my car to exit the school.

“He was shouting and intimidating me to get out of the car and not to be afraid. He then said he wanted to pass a memorandum to Waytha Moorthy,” he said.

Muniandy said as soon as he got out of the car, the man warned him to not speak about Malay rights and Islam.

Syed Afrizal warned him that this could lead to a repeat of the May 13 racial riots, he said.

“He yelled and asked me not to speak about Islam and Malay rights. He then issued a warning, saying that there is no need to have another May 13 incident.”

Waytha Moorthy is the minister leading the plan for Malaysia to ratify the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.

Umno and PAS are opposed to the treaty, which ratification they said would encroach on the rights of the Malays, whose special position was enshrined in the federal constituion. – November 21, 2018.

  • Rather than take on the government, these fanatical psychos have turned this into a racial issue, focusing on a soft target - an Indian politician and by extension the Indian community. No ruling party Malay leader will want to take the lead.

  • PDRM has to do more than that. This thugs has got to be hauled up and charged for inciting racial conflicts. All these activities of shit stirring the past weeks are on a choreographed sinister program to create racial uprising. Smell it out and the stench is from UmnoPAS in their desperation to seize power from the weak PH adminstration. They are on agenda to topple the democratic elected PH government. This treacherous and forbiddng intent to the principle of anarchism are a plot for them to recapture the government. PH are still dreaming with the great feeling of showing good examples in political correctness to dispose any harsh counter actions to arrest the situtaion. PH take heeds and wake up from your feel good stupor. You are being on the verge of dethrone !!!!
