IPOH: The Molotov cocktail that was thrown into the porch of Beruas MP Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham’s home in Ayer Tawar contained petrol, says Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri.

“The Fire and Rescue Department has made an initial confirmation that the flammable substance used was petrol. An official report will be sent to the police in the shortest possible time,” he said in a statement on Sunday (Jan 21).

The police arrested one suspect in his 30s two days later and he was released on police bail on Jan 17.

He said the investigation under Section 435 of the Penal Code was still ongoing.

“We are trying to track down the person responsible.

“Those convicted can be jailed up to 14 years and fined,” he said, adding that those who have information about the incident are urged to contact investigating officer Asst Supt Mohd Azlan Ab Karim at 019-392 7837.
