Police To View CCTV Recordings At Murugiah's Office

KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 (Bernama) -- Police, investigating a report on a parcel with bullets and a warning note, received by deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk T. Murugiah yesterday, have started viewing closed circuit television camera (CCTV) recordings at the main door of his office.

Kuala Lumpur CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah said police were looking at the cctv recordings to investigate how a parcel containing empty bullet shells and a warning note was found by Murugiah's officer at the main door of his office, situated on the 3rd Floor of the Perdana Putra building in Putrajaya, at about 2.30pm yesterday.

"So far, nobody has been called up to give statements," he said when contacted here today.

Yesterday, Murugiah had alleged that he received two empty bullet shells and a note threatening not to contest the presidency or any other posts in the coming People's Progressive Party (PPP) elections.

The warning note received read: "Don't ever contest M. Kayveas, not only president's post but don't contest any post in party PPP election. Don't be a hero. I will finish you. Don't fight if not this bullet shells will turn into life bullet in your head."

Meanwhile, a PPP supreme council member today lodged a police report at the Sentul police station, alleging that an unknown man had made a threatening call on his hand phone at about 6.30pm yesterday.

Kamal Batcha Noor Mohideen who is also Kota Raja (Klang) Division chief, claimed that though the man did not mention his name, he referred himself as Murugiah's man.

"He used foul language, was rude and abusive before I disconnected the call. I believe he is a PPP member," he told reporters outside the Sentul police station here.

Sentul police chief ACP Zakaria Pagan who confirmed the report, said police were investigating the case.
