Police reports have been filed against PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli over his alleged explosive remarks during campaigning for the Kuala Kangsar by-election.
A local resident told reporters that the reports concerned the Pandan lawmaker's statement that he intended to "bomb" Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak if the Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) candidate won the June 18 contest.
Mohamad Halim Mohamad Ali, 37, said he and three others lodged the reports at various police stations in the parliamentary constituency yesterday.
Stressing that Rafizi should not be making such "threats", he revealed that more reports would be filed later.
"We want Rafizi to explain what he actually meant when he made that statement," he added.
In his police report lodged with the Kuala Kangsar district police headquarters, Halim cited Facebook user Norazniza Abdul Karim who claimed that Rafizi uttered the remark during a Pakatan Harapan ceramah last Thursday night.
Also mentioned was blog Utaranews.com.
The blog alleged that Rafizi urged voters to cast their ballots for Amanah candidate Ahmad Termizi Ramli.
He purportedly stated that being a nuclear physicist, the opposition candidate would "throw a bomb" during parliamentary sessions if elected.
The by-election would witness a four-cornered fight between Termizi, BN's Mastura Mohd Yazid, PAS' Dr Najihatussalehah Ahmad and independent Izat Bukhary Ismail Bukhary.
The seat fell vacant following the death of Mastura’s husband Wan Mohammad Khair-il Anuar Wan Ahmad in a recent helicopter crash.- Mkini
