SHAH ALAM, 7 Feb: DAP slammed the rudeness of the non-governmental organisation (NGO) that offered a reward of up to RM1,200 to the individual who successfully manages to slap the Member of Parliament for Seputeh, Teresa Kok, and record it.
The DAP Strategy Director, Ong Kian Ming, said that the action is deemed excessive and the police need to take immediate action on the matter.
He said that DAP will lodge a police report across the country in the near future regarding the actions of the NGO.
“This is an outrageous action by irresponsible parties.DAP will lodge police reports across the country to urge the police to investigate this case and take appropriate action” he told Selangor Kini today.
He said that so far, DAP has not taken any action to protect Teresa and leaves it fully to the police.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for Puchong, Gobind Singh Deo, said that the act was shameful and he also called for intervention and serious action from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) and the Inspector General of Police regarding the matter.
Yesterday, the NGO that calls themselves the ‘Malaysian Islamic NGO Council’ held a protest believed to be a reaction to the Chinese New Year video entitled ‘Onderful Malaysia CNY 2014’.
Citing media reports, the reward in the form of cash was made by activists of the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM), where they initially offered RM500 before the amount was increased.
Prior to that, Teresa, a former Selangor Exco, made a police report at the Kuala Lumpur Headquarters regarding the disturbance received.
