Senator Ezam Mohd Nor's threats to burn down news portals is a “criminal
act” and the police and attorney-general must take immediate action
against him, said PKR vice president N Surendran.
Surendran (right) in a statement yesterday evening said, “This
is an outrageous threat to the property and offices of these two news
portals; more seriously, it is also a threat of grievous harm or death
against their staff, writers and other occupants. We
are appalled that a sitting member of the Dewan Negara has uttered such
words and threatened publicly to carry out criminal acts.”
He was responding to Ezam's statement at a rally at Selangor state mosque in Shah Alam yesterday when he was reportedly to have said, "Malaysiakini, Malaysian Insider, we are giving you a very last warning. Our warning is a serious one. If you do not stop this rubbish, we are going to burn you down!"

Ezam spoke in defence of the Selangor Islamic Religious Department's (Jais) raid on a church in Petaling Jaya last week.
Surendran, who is a lawyer, stressed that such a blatant threat was a criminal offence under the laws, saying, “The police and the attorney-general must take immediate action against Ezam Mohd Nor under sections 503 and 505 of the Penal Code, for criminal intimidation and mischief.”
