The Perak police chief Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri stated that there have been no arrests made in relation to the arson attack against Beruas MP Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham. He revealed that seven statements had been recorded in connection with the incident.
Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri mentioned, “We will wait for the report on the statements taken from the seven people first. No arrests have been made so far. We will monitor and increase patrolling in the area.” This statement was made by him yesterday.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning, resulting in the damage of three cars parked on the porch of Ngeh’s house in Ayer Tawar after a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the house compound.
Ngeh stated during a press conference that no warnings were received prior to the arson attack. He indicated that a broken bottle with an object taped to it was discovered near the porch of his house, leading to suspicions of arson.
Furthermore, Ngeh pointed out that he was not engaged in any sort of quarrel or dispute with anyone, making the motives behind the attack unclear.
