PERAK Police chief Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said the remand order for the man arrested on suspicion of committing arson at the residence of Beruas MP Ngeh Koo Ham in Ayer Tawar on January 10 has been extended until tomorrow. 

Yusri said the remand application was granted by the Seri Manjung magistrate’s court this morning. 

“We will continue investigating to find out the extent of the suspect’s involvement in this case,” he said. 

Yusri added that the result of the forensic investigation into the fire, which the Fire and Rescue Department carried out, would be considered in the probe. 

A man, in his 30s, was arrested in Shah Alam on Friday before he was remanded until today to assist in the investigation under Section 435 of the Penal Code for committing mischief by fire. 

In the early morning incident on Wednesday, a Molotov cocktail was believed to have been thrown onto the porch of Ngeh’s house, resulting in a fire that damaged three cars. – Bernama, January 16, 2024.
