Another church in Seremban targeted - Anil Netto

Midnight: Another church in Seremban has been targeted – the Grace Global Prayer Church in Happy Garden, Rasah, Seremban, according to a twitter message from Lim Kit Siang.

It is the twelfth religious site – eleven of which were church properties – and the second in Seremban to be targeted since 8 January.

In the incident that occurred before 8.00pm, the glass of a side window was found broken, said Kit Siang. It is believed that a blunt object was used to break the glass. No stones were found.

He said that the DAP MP for Rasah, Anthony Loke, had sent him a text message from the new two-storey shoplot church, where police and the press had gathered.
