Pakatan lodges police report against blogsite

(The Star) – BUKIT GANTANG: Perak Pakatan Rakyat has lodged a police report against a blogsite which had allegedly issued a death threat against Bukit Gantang parliamentary by-election candidate Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin.

Titi Serong assemblyman Dr Khalil Idham Lim Abdullah said he came upon the site Wednesday with the headline “Kill Nizar.”

“This is a threat on his life and we are taking it seriously,” he said after lodging a report on the matter at the Changkat Jering police station near here Thursday.

“Should anything happen to Mohammad Nizar after this, we will take action against the blogger,” he said, adding that the blogger’s action was irresponsible and insolent.

He claimed the blogger was a well-known person but declined to name him.

Dr Khalil Idham said he believed the article was published in relation to the recent announcement that Mohammad Nizar, the former Perak mentri besar, was contesting the Bukit Gantang seat.

He urged police to investigate the blogsite as the article contains provocative elements that was against the law.
