Amanah Youth chief threatened with poison and a bullet

Kelantan Amanah Youth chief Hazmi Hassan filed a police report yesterday after receiving threats to his safety on social media.

The threats were made after one of Hazmi’s articles on late PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, entitled “Semoga nama almarhum Tok Guru terus hidup” (May the name of the late Tok Guru live on) was shared in a Facebook group.

Three different individuals had issued the threats, which were made in the Facebook group in question.

“I only wrote about the kindness and wisdom of Tok Guru Nik Aziz. But subsequently, I received threats from the three individuals,” he said when contacted by Malaysiakini today.

Hazmi, who is more popularly known as Jeming Hassan, explained that the first individual threatened to send him a bullet.

“Secondly, I was threatened with poisoning and shooting, while the third threat was being shot with a live bullet,” he said.

Hazmi’s statement was recorded by police at the Kota Bahru police headquarters yesterday.

What saddened him the most, he added, was that one of the individuals who made the threats is believed to be a former police officer.

“He has come to meet me, and apologised for his actions, and I hope he makes a public apology.

“I will leave the rest to the police for further investigation, and the assessment of my lawyer.

“I hope that this matter does not re-occur, and that we do not make compromises when it comes to issues of security,” he said.- Mkini
