Police to call in Perlis MB over cow-shooting video

KANGAR, May 29 - Perlis Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah will be called in to assist in the investigations into a viral video purportedly showing him shooting a Hari Raya Aidiladha sacrificial cow with a shotgun.

Kangar police chief ACP Yusharifuddin Mohd Yusop said police are aware of the video circulating on social media and have begun preliminary investigations, although no police report has been lodged over the incident so far.

Investigations are also underway to determine the type of firearm and ammunition used.

“We are still investigating whether the ammunition used was live rounds or otherwise,” he said briefly in a statement today.

Earlier today, a video lasting several seconds went viral on social media, allegedly showing Abu Bakar firing at a sacrificial cow, prompting reactions from netizens.
