Molotov Cocktail Attack On Two KFC Executives in Malaysia
The molotov cocktail attack on the home of KFC Holdings (M) Bhd executive director Ahmad Aznan Nawawi at Bukit Bandaraya here on Saturday night was not an isolated case -- a similar attack was carried out on a senior KFC manager at his Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya home 15 minutes earlier. Petaling Jaya Deputy OCPD Supt Abdul Rahman Ibrahim when contacted by Bernama confirmed the second incident but declined to reveal the identity of the senior manager. He said the police were trying to establish whether the attacks were related to any business rivalry."Investigations are ongoing and we are trying to establish the link between the two attacks. The police are looking at all angles," he said. According to a source, the senior manager did not feel the seriousness of the attack which occurred between 9.15pm and 9.30pm until after he watched the TV news, Monday night. The attack on the home of Ahmad Aznan occurred at about 9.45pm. One of the molotov cocktails hit his bedroom window and the other a wall. No one was injured and there was no serious damage to the house. The senior manager and his family were out during the incident leaving only the maid in the house. The senior manager only realised that the incident could be "pre-meditated" when he related it to another KFC director through the phone, Sunday. Media reports speculated that the attack was "most probably" related to the corporate tussle where plantation-based company Kulim Bhd eventually emerged as a controlling shareholder in KFC through its holding in QSR Brands Bhd. KFC is also involved in another controversy when it filed a lawsuit in the High Court here on March 3 against its former managing director Datuk Ishak Ismail for alleged breach of fiduciary and trust duties and Said @ Shuaib Bakar for conspiring with Ishak. The suit alleged that Ishak had wrongfully procured RM10 million from KFCH for his personal benefit while he was managing director of the company. Posted by: Pappy 2006-03-20 |
