Police record statements from 2 witnesses in Teresa Kok death threat case

POLICE have recorded statements from two witnesses in the case involving a death threat against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, said Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa.

He said the case was still under investigation and no arrests had been made.

Rusdi urged the public not to speculate about the case as it could disrupt the investigation.

It was reported yesterday that Kok received a death threat and two bullets in the mail.

She said she found the letter and bullets in her mailbox on Saturday night.

“I was checking my mailbox at my residence last night and I found an envelope with something heavy in it,” she said on Facebook.

“When I opened it, I saw two bullets and a piece of paper. Written on it were the words ‘C*b*ilu Cina?!!! Lu Akan Mati!!! TUNGGU!!!’.”

DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said violence has no place in national politics.

He said the party was firmly behind Kok and praised the police for their swift action.

“We condemn the death threat against DAP vice-president Teresa Kok. Such violence has no place in our country and we are behind Kok in this matter.

“I would like to thank the police for taking action as soon as the report was lodged,” he said in a statement. – May 20, 2024.
