KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Aman has slammed the actions of a local IS-styled group who uploaded a video on Tuesday threatening to kill the Inspector-General of Police by blowing up his car.
Bukit Aman’s Special Branch principal assistant director (counter-terrorism division) Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, told The Rakyat Post, “IS have threatened not only the national security, but also the regional and global security. To play around with their image simply to gain views or attention is inappropriate and insensitive.
“We, the authorities, take this matter seriously and those responsible for the release of the two videos will have serious actions taken against them.”
Besides the latest video, another was uploaded two weeks earlier threatening to blast firecrackers in front of the nation’s courts.
Ayob Khan also said the group was treading on dangerous ground by joking around with the concept of IS, an international network of terrorists, whose influence Bukit Aman was working tirelessly to curb.
“Any authority in the world and anyone who can think properly would know that the actions of this group of children do not reflect the country’s stand on IS,” he said, adding that the police had already made numerous arrests as well as issued stern warnings against any locals joining the militants in Syria.
“Anyone who plans to joke around with it should know better,” he said.
In the video, three men are seen clad in black and wearing full face masks while their spokesman, with the logo of their group AMAD obliterating his face, speaks of killing the IGP by blowing up the car.
Identifying themselves as Anti-Democracy Sons of Malaysia, the three end the video by flashing their middle fingers and saying, “f@#$ democracy”, while one individual illustrates the group’s intentions by dragging two toy cars across the table while the spokesman lights the cars aflame to the sounds of a massive explosion.
