KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has prayed for the speedy recovery of the son of former Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli, who was assaulted at a shopping mall this afternoon.
In a post on X, Fahmi, who is also PKR Information Chief, expressed sadness, shock and anger over the news.
'As a father with children around the same age as Rafizi Ramli's son, I am also deeply concerned about my family's safety.
'I pray for Ben's speedy recovery, may Allah grant safety to Rafizi and his family, and may the attackers be swiftly apprehended and brought to justice,' he said.
Earlier, Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the assault on the boy is believed to have occurred at 2 pm at the mall's pick-up and drop-off area while he was with his mother and their driver.
Meanwhile, Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister and PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said in a statement that PKR strongly condemns the assault on the Pandan MP's son, urging authorities to take immediate and firm action to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure the safety and protection of all citizens, especially children.
'I pray for his son's full and speedy recovery, and that his family remains strong in facing this ordeal. Children must never be made victims under any circumstances. Such actions are cruel, inhumane, and must be strongly condemned by all,' said Fuziah.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang, who is also PKR vice-president, in a Facebook post, urged the police to act swiftly to identify the perpetrators and masterminds, and bring them to justice.
'This serious crime was clearly premeditated and targeted,' he said.

‘Buli' Pocket Talk At Perlis Connect Educates Students On Dangers, Laws

PADANG BESAR, Aug 16 (Bernama) – The government's commitment to tackling bullying has been translated into action through a pocket talk session titled 'Buli' (Bullying), held as part of the Perlis Connect programme at Padang Besar Street here today. The session, conducted by Inspector Harris Md Noor, Senior Investigating Officer of the Padang Besar District Police Headquarters (IPD), covered the definition of bullying, its various forms, the root causes of such behaviour and the legal provisions related to the offence. Students from several institutions of higher learning who attended said the programme provided them with greater awareness of behaviours that could lead to bullying and how to address them. Nurul Syafiqah Narul Hisam, 19, a Diploma in Manufacturing Engineering student at Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), said the talk deepened her understanding of bullying and made her more alert to such acts among her peers. 'This session gave me exposure to the dangers of bullying. From now on, I will be more aware, and if I detect any bullying elements, I know the appropriate actions to take. 'I can report it to the Student Representative Council (MPP) for further action, and if it is a serious case, it can be reported directly to the police,' she said. Another participant, Muhamad Haziq Ziqrie Mohamad Aziz, 18, a Foundation in Management student at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Sintok, Kedah, said the talk not only informed him about the punishments for bullying but also served as a reminder for youths to stay away from such behaviour. 'What I learned is that we should avoid jealousy or inciting our peers to bully those who are weaker. My hope is for young people to be free from bullying and gangster-like behaviour, as it has a lasting impact on victims,' he said. Perlis Connect, a one-day programme organised by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in collaboration with the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), was officiated by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail.
