KUALA LUMPUR – MIC Youth has distanced itself from a party member who allegedly assaulted and injured someone with a sharp object, saying his actions do not reflect the wing’s stance.
Its chief Raven Kumar Krishnasamy said the wing’s leaders have taken note of the media reports and video recording in relation to the member who allegedly brought injury on another.
“We strongly repudiate the actions of any individual who provokes or uses force to resolve a conflict among them,” he said in a statement today.
“MIC as a party that respects the rule of law always holds fast and respects the roles of enforcement agencies and the law in settling any problems that may arise between whatever party.
Raven urged police to investigate the incident as best as possible without any sense of “fear or favour” to ensure justice to both individuals who were involved.
He said MIC Youth is confident that the party will take appropriate action against the member who was involved based on the findings of the investigations. He added that this is in line with the stand expressed by party president Tan Sri S.A. Vigneswaran on the incident.
“Hopefully, this incident will be a lesson to all to refrain from taking the law into their own hands and not react emotionally in resolving any problem,” he added.
Earlier, The Vibes reported that a 36-year-old man had been detained for apparently slashing another man with a knife yesterday, causing a 3cm-deep wound on the victim’s left wrist.
According to Sentul police chief Beh Eng Lai, the incident took place after the alleged attacker was said to be dissatisfied with a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission report made by the victim against the suspect.
Beh said the suspect has three criminal records and will be brought to court for a remand application to assist the investigation.
The investigation is being carried out under Section 324 of the Penal Code, and if convicted, the offender could face up to 10 years in prison, a fine, or both. – The Vibes, August 6, 2022
