Bersatu man files report on alleged death threat
PETALING JAYA : A Bersatu Youth leader filed a police report yesterday after allegedly receiving a death threat from an unknown person.
Bersatu Youth executive council member Na'im Brundage said the person also threatened to splash acid on him, although no reason was disclosed.
Na'im said he did not dismiss the possibility that the threats were politically motivated since he was active in politics and in airing his views on social media.
'Such threats will not hamper me from continuing to speak up for the people. I want to stress that I will never bow to any form of threat, pressure, or intimidation.
'I urge all Malaysians to unite and reject the culture of violent politics, and to instead defend the practice of mature politics,' he said in a statement.
FMT has reached out to the Dang Wangi police for comment.
Na'im left Bersatu for Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) in 2022, joining former minister Zuraida Kamaruddin. He rejoined Bersatu in November after being sacked from PBM along with 12 others, including Zuraida.

Anwar: MPs should debate like students — with facts, not insults
PUTRAJAYA, July 26 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on Members of Parliament (MPs) to foster a culture of respectful and civilised debate in the Dewan Rakyat, free from insults and profanity. Expressing his admiration for the participants of the 2025 Prime Minister's Cup Debate Finals, Anwar commended their eloquence, confidence, thoughtful use of facts, and measured arguments — qualities he said should be emulated by parliamentarians. 'I am very proud of the quality of the debate, and I couldn't help but wonder - why shouldn't Members of Parliament learn from this? If we wish to debate, we must first master knowledge, analyse it, process it, and present it effectively. 'These young participants demonstrated an impressive standard of debate, and I salute them. Debate is not merely about speaking well; it is about the ability to understand, analyse, and articulate ideas clearly. That is precisely what I believe our Members of Parliament should learn to emulate,' he said. Anwar, who is also the Minister of Finance, also praised the current generation of students for their strong command of the Malay language and their ability to engage in discussions with depth, knowledge, and understanding. — Bernama
