IPOH: A report will be lodged with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to identify the Facebook user who issued death threats against Nga Kor Ming and Liew Chin Tong.

The Teluk Intan MP and Aulong state assemblyman said that the report was to allow MCMC to trace the user's IP address in order to identify him.

''We view this death threat with great concern. This isn't just about me or Liew, but it also concerns the safety of the entire DAP leadership. I hope the police will conduct a thorough investigation and find the culprit,'' Nga told the press on Saturday (July 23).

He said this after opening Kepayang state assemblyman Dr Ko Chung Sen's new service centre in Jalan Teh Hawa here.

On Friday, Keranji assemblyman Chong Zhemin lodged a report at the Ipoh district police headquarters over a death threat posted by a Facebook user named Jing Hong on a community page.

Written in Chinese, the post read ''Both of you from Pakatan Harapan make me mad. You both just wait, I will kill you. Both of you will nicely go and accompany Teoh Beng Hock.''

A picture of a pistol along with a picture of Nga and Liew were also attached with the post.

Nga is the Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker, while Liew was recently appointed a senator and also the deputy Defence minister.

Nga noted that such behaviour was uncalled for.

''We can have difference in opinions but to resort to such threats is totally not our culture,'' he added.
