Cops probing if recent security incidents pre-planned - minister

Malaysiakini : Police are investigating whether several recent incidents involving the security of important national institutions and MPs were random acts or part of a coordinated plan.

Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said police and his ministry viewed the issue seriously and are closely monitoring the situation to prevent further incidents.

“It is crucial for the police investigation to determine (whether the attacks) are random acts or part of a coordinated plan and (if they are) carried out by individuals or groups,” he said.

He was speaking during a media conference at the launch of the new Film Censorship Guidelines in Putrajaya today. On Friday (May 17), two police officers - Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar and Muhamad Syafiq Ahmad Said - were killed while another was injured after they were attacked by an intruder at the Ulu Tiram police station in Johor.

On the same day, two men aged 29 and 37, were arrested for allegedly trying to trespass into Istana Negara with a machete in their car.

Yesterday, police also confirmed receiving a report from Seputeh MP Teresa Kok about an envelope in her mailbox on Saturday (May 18) that contained two bullets and a warning note.

Saifuddin said he has been instructed to brief Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today on the police investigations into several of the incidents.

IndigoCat9464 : Dei Saifuddin. If there's any elements of a terrorism act then come clean to address the Nation. Please don't cover up things.

My guess, it's a certain Ethnic group which could be thought as involved but we Peace Loving Malaysians are in Solidarity to kick this fellow's out even from any Ethnic group.

So, Stop trying to please One Ethnic group just to Win Votes. It's Not Working for Madani! The Votes will come in when you Address the situation Openly!

apanama is back : Saifuddin, when 'under control' becomes coordinated plan? Looks like you people do not know what is going on BEFORE the security incidents. Is your SB doing their job? Miss their coffee and 'teh tarik?' Saifuddin, there was internal security lapse.
