GE15: cops detain two men over threatening journalists on duty

SEREMBAN – Two men were detained after they were suspected of threatening a group of journalists covering the 15th general election campaign of a party candidate at a restaurant here last night.

Negri Sembilan police chief Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof said both men aged between 30 and 40 were picked up in Taman Seremban Selatan after police received a report at about 11.50pm.

“Both individuals who were believed to be drunk warned reporters from carrying out the coverage. The men also hurled a glass, a liquor bottle and a shoe at one of the journalists.

“The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for making threats,” he said in a statement today.

He said stern actions will be taken against those who deliberately disturb public order. – Bernama, November 12, 2022
