Sivakumar to lodge police report over firearms in assembly

(The Edge) IPOH: Ousted Perak Speaker V Sivakumar will lodge a police report in connection with suspected firearms brought into the state assembly last week.

Speaking at a press conference at the DAP headquarters here today, Sivakumar said it was a serious offence to introduce firearms into the assembly hall.

"There is a special room at the state assembly for weapons to be deposited," he said.

"What would happen if someone in a fit of anger discharges a weapon?"
