Petrol bombs thrown at DAP HQ in Ipoh (malaysiakini)


Three homemade Molotov cocktails were hurled at DAP’s Perak headquarters in Ipoh early this morning but no one was hurt from the attack.
MCPXIn the 2.20am incident, two persons on a motorbike with helmets were spotted hurling the fire bombs outside the DAP office.One of the bombs broke the glass of the office’s window which was located on the second floor of the two-storey shoplot, a stone throw away from the Perak state assembly building.However, the bombs bounced off the window as it had been boarded off and they fell onto the street below.A security guard at a school opposite the building who witnessed the attack had lodged a police report this morning.DAP state leader and senior executive councillor Ngeh Koo Ham told Malaysiakini that he believed the attack was politically motivated."However, I cannot comment if this was related to Karpal," he said when asked whether the incident was connected to the controversy over DAP chairman Karpal Singh's questioning regarding the limits of the sultans' constitutional powers.
