PETALING JAYA: An MP from Sabah, describing recent firebombing incidents as acts of terrorism, has questioned whether law enforcement is as serious as the law is about terrorism.
Wilfred Madius Tangau, MP for Tuaran, said: “Our law is serious about terrorism. Do we see the same seriousness in law enforcement?”He described the petrol bomb attacks – two this week against KK Mart shops and one in January at an MP’s home in Perak – as acts of terrorism as defined by the Penal Code, which he said spells out a jail term and fines for anyone who knowingly “incites or promotes the commission of a terrorist act”.

The attack on Ngeh’s home came after he stirred controversy by suggesting that non-Muslim constitutional experts be appointed to a committee reviewing the jurisdiction of shariah courts according to the Federal Constitution. Ngeh later apologised and withdrew his proposal.This week, petrol bombs were also thrown at two KK Mart shops in Bidor, Perak, and Kuantan, Pahang, following controversy over the sale of socks bearing the word “Allah”.
