Police are in the midst of identifying two individuals, believed to be women, for their alleged involvement in vandalising the murals of national leaders at Taman Cahaya Alam, Section U12 in Shah Alam, with offensive words.
Shah Alam district police chief ACP Baharudin Mat Taib said that the two individuals were detected from the closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera recording of a nearby shop.
“We are locating these individuals. Give us time to investigate this incident and we hope no one will issue unnecessary statements,” he said when contacted today.
He said investigations were carried out under Section 504/427 of the Penal Code which carries a jail term of up to five years, or a fine, or both.
The vandalism on the murals was noticed by a restaurant worker who happened to pass by the area at about 8am today.
Offensive words were seen written in red paint on the portraits of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
The murals were the artwork of three young artists - Muhammad Suhaimi Ali, 27, Muhamad Firdaus Nordin, 26, and Abdul Hadi Ramli, 27.
