LARUT: Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin said the government will “completely eliminate” all terrorist groups, including the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
Hamzah, who is also Larut MP, said the government will rely on various legal provisions such as the Prevention of Crime Act (Poca) 1959 and the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) in doing so.
Commenting on media reports that a man claiming to be a LTTE 2.0 commander-in-chief had threatened to shoot Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador, Hamzah said appropriate action would be taken.
“The LTTE is still listed as a terrorist group in our country.
“We will arrest and eliminate them for arbitrarily trying to do whatever they want in our country,” he told a press conference after presenting flood relief to residents at his constituency here, today.
Apart from threatening to shoot the IGP, the suspect had also sent an email to the media claiming that he would attack the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman and the defence ministry.
Hamzah, in the meantime, advised police to be vigilant. - FMT
