On Thursday, Kor Ming’s 76-year-old mother, who is also a retiree, lodged the report at the Manjung District Police Headquarters (IPD) at 10.15 am after finding dozens of threatening notes scattered in front of her house.
Nga said that while there may be differing opinions on policies or political ideas, the differences should not go beyond the bounds of decency and affect the safety of family members.

“What is most important is that our country has principles, including the rule of law which should be upheld, and not to act on whims,” he said.
