Police probe death threat against NGO leader

Seremban district police chief Saiful Azly Kamaruddin says the case is being investigated under Section 507 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.

PETALING JAYA: The threat made against the family of a Seremban-based NGO leader is being investigated under Section 507 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.

Seremban district police chief ACP Saiful Azly Kamaruddin said this earlier today.

On Aug 30, the Negeri Sembilan Community Welfare Association’s president S Jaya lodged a police report after receiving a threating letter via the post.

The contents of the letter, authored by one known as Muzaffir, had threatened to rape and torture her three daughters to death if her family did not leave the country in seven days.

The threat was made after her husband, S Ravinthran, posted three videos on Youtube criticising Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Mohamad Hassan.

The letters also asked Ravinthran to apologise to Muhyiddin and Hassan for his remarks.

On the case, Saiful said that his team would send the letter to the forensic department for further investigations.

He also said that the police are monitoring Jaya’s home for the past six days to protect her family’s safety.

“And we will continue to monitor her home after this,” said Saiful.
