DAP office attacked!
The Perak DAP headquarters in Bandar Ipoh Raya was damaged when two unidentified men hurled a petrol bomb at it early this morning.
The incident, which happened at 2.20am, was witnessed by security guard Ammeri Ahmad, 45, who was on duty at a nearby school, and who then called the police.
There were no injuries reported as the building was empty and only two windows were damaged, said Ammeri.
The DAP office is located on the top floor of a two-storey shophouse. On the ground floor is an Indian-Muslim restaurant.
Ammeri said he saw two men throwing something at the windows of the DAP office that caused two loud explosions.
He said when he approached the shophouse the two men took off on a motorcycle.
Perak DAP chairman Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham said the incident appeared to be politically motivated and called on the police to conduct an immediate investigation into the incident.
“It is an attempt to burn the DAP office and is believed to be done by those who have elements of mischief towards the party,” he said after visiting the office.
Ngeh, who is also a senior state executive councillor, said this was the first incident of its type since the formation of the state coalition government after the March general election.
He urged the people to respect the coalition government as it was the people’s choice.
Ipoh deputy police chief Supt Idris Abdullah said police were looking into elements of mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to cause damage.
He said no suspect had been picked up.
Ipoh Fire and Rescue personnel were at the scene after receiving a call at 3am and carried out an inspection.
