KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 – The police are intensifying their efforts to locate the individual responsible for sending a threatening letter to Datuk Khaw Kok Chin, the Penang Police Chief. Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani, emphasized the seriousness of the matter and stated that operations involving the Criminal Investigation Department, Commercial Crime Investigation Department, and Narcotics Crime Investigation Department are actively underway to track down the suspects involved.
The incident came to light when a police report was filed regarding a warning and threatening letter addressed to Kok Chin at the Penang Contingent Police Headquarters. The letter, received last Thursday through Pos Malaysia, was placed inside an envelope. Upon initial inspection of the envelope, it was discovered that it contained six replicas of ‘corpse money’ banknotes and a note warning the Penang Police Contingent to cease aggressive actions against unlicensed moneylender syndicates in the state.
The letter further conveyed criminal threats against the Penang Police Chief, stating that shops and the police station would be set ablaze if the warning went unheeded. The investigation is being carried out by the Criminal Investigation Division of the North East District Police Headquarters under Section 507 of the Penal Code, which pertains to the offense of criminal intimidation through anonymous communication.
Tan Sri Acryl Sani assured that no compromises would be made and strict action would be taken against any individual attempting to intimidate or threaten police officers in the performance of their duties to combat illegal activities and crime in the country. The police force is determined to apprehend the suspect responsible for this act, emphasizing their unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens and maintaining law and order throughout the nation.
