PUTRAJAYA - The police are probing whether recent attacks at public institutions were coordinated or based on individual actions, said Malaysia’s home minister.
Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said his ministry and the police take the matter seriously and are investigating the incidents that happened recently.
“In the police investigation, we will find out if the attacks were coordinated or at random as well as if they were performed by an individual or in a group.
“Some of the cases, like the police station in Penang, had a drunk (alcohol) element. We will investigate the cases promptly to find out the plot and motive of their actions,” he said at a press conference after launching the new filming guidelines at the 70th anniversary of the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia on May 20.
Mr Saifuddin was answering a question over an update following an attempted trespass into Istana Negara and a recent attack at a police station.
He also advised the public not to speculate or make assumptions, and allow the police to conduct their investigation.
