‘Fowl play’: Dead bird threat for MP for Serdang

A chicken, with its throat slit, was left hanging outside DAP MP Teo Nie Ching's office.

PETALING JAYA: Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching was greeted by an act of “fowl play” this morning, when a blood-drenched chicken, with its throat slit, was left hanging outside her DAP branch office.

On the door was a note which read: “Ingat! Ini satu peringatan Teo Nie Ching. Tentera Jihad. (Remember! This is a reminder Teo Nie Ching. Jihad army).”

Teo, who considered this a death threat, later filed a report with the Kajang district police headquarters.

“I received a call from a branch member at about 8am, telling me about the note and the chicken found at the Sungai Chua office,” the DAP leader told FMT.

“I think this is a death threat to me, there was also blood on the office floor,” she added.

Teo also refused to speculate on who could be behind the threat, saying she would leave that to the police to investigate.

“I don’t want to guess or make any accusations,” she said.

However, sources close to Teo said this could be related to an incident last August, where Teo was embroiled in a controversy following her visit to a mosque in Kajang to present aid to Muslims celebrating Hari Raya.

The MP had come under fire for not being properly attired.

Utusan Malaysia published a photograph of her delivering a speech in the prayer hall without covering her hair, and this courted criticism from Umno and Perkasa.

It was also alleged that Teo had committed another offence by delivering a tazkirah (sermon) during her visit, which the MP denied.

Teo was later issued a warning by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) not to repeat her mistake, and the DAP politician had also apologised to the Sultan. - FMT
