BUTTERWORTH: Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil had a rude shock when she found
Molotov cocktail bottles thrown into the compound of her house in Damansara
Heights, Petaling Jaya, on Saturday.
The Prime Minister’s Special Adviser for Muslim Women and Social Development
Affairs said she believed it had something to do with the Bar Council Malaysia’s
forum pertaining to conversion to Islam.
“My family members were fast asleep when we heard the sound of glass being
broken at about 3.30am.
“We did not go out then. But, when we work up early in the morning, we found
broken glass bottles filled with kerosene splattered in our compound.
“There was also a note with it,” she told reporters Saturday after Deputy Prime
Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak met Permatang Pauh Umno grassroots leaders
at Wisma Perkeso in Seberang Jaya here.
Shahrizat said she learnt about the incident when she was getting ready to leave
for Penang at 7.30am.
“There should not be commotion or any form of violence (because of this issue).
“We have necessary laws, so let us not resort to violence. If they agree or
disagree (with the forum), there are ways for them to voice their opinion,” she
said.
She said police were investigating the incident.
