| Dead chicken and a threat for Malaysian MP | ||
| 2011-01-19 | ||
Malaysian MP Teo Nie Ching was greeted by an act of "fowl play"
Teo, who considered this to be a death threat,
"I received a call from a branch member at about 8 a.m., telling me about the note and the chicken found at the Sungai Chua office," Teo said. "I think this is a death threat to me, there was also blood on the office floor," she added. Teo refused to guess who was behind the threat, saying the police could investigate that. "I don't want to guess or make any accusations," she said. However, sources close to Teo said this may be related to an incident last August, where Teo got caught in a controversy after a visit to a mosque. The MP was criticised for not dressing properly. Utusan Malaysia published a photo of her giving a speech in the prayer hall without covering her hair. Some said that Teo had committed another offense by delivering a tazkirah (sermon) during her visit, which the MP denied. A warning was issued by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council not to repeat her mistake, and Teo apologised to the Sultan. | ||
