SIBU, Sept 27 — It was a rude shock for the state DAP chairman Wong Ho Leng when he discovered an explosive firework, which failed to ignite, at his house compound at 7am today.
“This type of explosive, which can produce a powerful and deafening explosion, is more dangerous than a molotov cocktail,” he told reporters at his house at Ipoh Road.
Wong, a practising lawyer and the assemblyman for Bukit Assek, said he had lodged a police report over the matter.
“I never expected that I would be a target. The police asked me whether I made enemies recently; honestly, it is impossible for a politician not to have political enemies,” he said.
He believed the explosive could have been thrown at his house after 1am as he did not notice anything when he returned from a gathering at about midnight last night.
“Thank God it failed to explode although it had been ignited,” said Wong who has been staying there for the past 19 years with his family.
He said that this was not the first time that DAP politicians in the state had been targeted.
“Recently, molotov cocktails were thrown into the compound of the house of Bandar Kuching DAP member of parliament Chong Chieng Jen.
“I condemn these unscrupulous acts,” he said. — Bernama
