SEREMBAN, Aug 9 — The police have received two reports on mischiefs during the state election campaign, following incidents of placing and hurling pig heads at two locations in Kuala Pilah this morning.
Kuala Pilah police chief Supt Amran Mohd Gani said the first incident occurred at the Perikatan Nasional (PN) operations centre for the Juasseh state constituency, at about 7.45am.
"The second report received took place in front of the house of the PN Senaling campaign manager and Kuala Pilah PN information chief in Kampung Sawah Lebar Seberang,” he said in a statement earlier this evening.
The cases are being investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 4A (1) of the Election Offences Act 1954.
Amran advised the public to not speculate, as it may cause confusion and annoyance to the community, which could affect police investigations.
Members of the public with information can contact the Kuala Pilah police headquarters at 06-4842999 or the nearest police station.
Earlier, the media reported that the party’s machinery staff were shocked at the discovery of a pig head placed on the flag of the alliance in front of the operation centre, and another hurled into the residence of an officer this morning.
