PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli is glad that police reports have been filed over his explosive humour concerning an “atomic bomb” for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
“This is because it provides much needed humour to assist us to cope with the madness in Malaysian politics,” he told Malaysiakini.
On a technical note however, the Pandan lawmaker pointed out that in order to kill someone, one need not construct a complicated explosive device such as an atomic bomb.
“After all we all know that C4 is just enough for the task,” he added.
C-4 plastic explosives became part of the Malaysian vocabulary following the gruesome murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu, who was shot and her remains blown up.

Meanwhile, Rafizi said he told an audience at a ceramah in Kuala Kangsar how Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) candidate Ahmad Termizi Ramli was often referred to as DAP lackey.
Referring to the DAP logo, the PKR leader said he spoke about how critics claimed that the candidate would “sit on the rocket and go wherever the rocket goes”.
“I said Termizi was even better than the rocket.
“Because he is a nuclear physicist, and when elected to Parliament, the first thing we want him to do is aim an atomic bomb at Najib - better than the rockets aimed at Najib now,” he added.
Jokes aside, Rafizi hoped the police would see the lighter side of his comments and realise that it was a mere figure of speech, and not a real threat to obliterate the prime minister.
“Otherwise the court trial will be the funniest yet,” he said.
This morning, a local resident told reporters that several police reports had been lodged over the PKR leader’s remarks yesterday.
Mohamad Halim Mohamad Ali, 37, said he and three others lodged the reports at various police stations, and more are expected to be filed.
"We want Rafizi to explain what he actually meant when he made that statement," he added, stressing that the opposition leader should not be making such threats.
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. - Mkini
