MANJUNG: Threatening notes were found scattered in front of the house of Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming's parents on Jalan Ling Sing Hang in Ayer Tawar today.
District police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohamed Nordin Abdullah stated that they received a report from Nga's 76-year-old mother about the incident at 10.15am.
She reported finding papers with the words "Nga Kor Ming, do not challenge Islam" in front of their house.
"The complainant stated that she saw many papers with the mentioned writing when she left the house at 7.30am.
"She believes that the words were intended maliciously. Therefore, efforts to track down the suspect are currently underway. The cause of the incident is not yet known," Nordin said in a statement.
The case is classified under Section 507 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation by an anonymous communication.
Nordin urged those with any information about the case to contact the investigating officer, Inspector Fariq Nazmi Mohd Mustafa, at 013-3317099.
Meanwhile, Nga's mother had voiced her concern about the incident.
The 76-year-old, who preferred not to disclose her name, said she observed many A4-sized white papers in her yard when she went out to get the newspaper at 7.30am.
Initially, she thought it was just blank papers scattered by an irresponsible party.
"At around 9.30am, I went out to sweep the papers, only to realise there were red writings saying 'Nga Kor Ming, do not challenge Islam.'
"There were about 40 sheets of paper, all with the same message. Feeling worried and afraid of unwanted incidents, my husband and I reported it to the Ayer Tawar police station," she said when met today.
The woman said she and her 86-year-old husband want a peaceful life like everyone else and hope not to be targets of hate politics.
"We live a 'low profile' life, and incidents like this have happened a few years ago.
"Politics is politics. Please don't use such methods to threaten elderly people," she said.
