KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIAN opposition MP Teresa Kok is hiring bodyguards to protect her after the recent threatening SMSes and molotov cocktail attack on her family home. She said she was advised by the police to hire bodyguards as a precautionary measure and for her own safety.
'I have been advised to look after my safety, that is why I am now in the midst of interviewing people to become my bodyguard,' she said outside the city police headquarters on Tuesday.
Ms Kok, accompanied by her father, had gone to the police station to get an update on the investigation of several police reports she and her family had lodged.
She said closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras have been installed in her family home in Taman Rainbow, Jalan Ipoh after two molotov cocktails were thrown at the house on Sept 27.
However, when asked if she would be installing CCTVs in her apartment, Ms Kok said there was no need to do so as she felt her condominium unit was safe.
Ms Kok is also seeking help from the police to provide police presence during her upcoming Hari Raya open house functions on Sunday and next week in Puchong.
'I have told the Selangor police chief about my Hari Raya open house plans. 'I hope the increase in police presence during the event would help deter any untoward incidents,' she said. -- THE STAR
