'Senseless act': MP shocked after service vehicle vandalised
In a Facebook post, Aminolhuda uploaded photos of the damaged Toyota Estima, which he said was a gift from his wife for use in constituency work after he was elected as the Parit Yaani assemblyman in the 13th General Election.
The MPV, he said, held sentimental value, having served both his family and constituents from 2013 to 2022, and continued to be used after his election as Sri Gading MP.
"What did the old Estima ever do to deserve this? My family has been using this MPV since 2010," he wrote.
Aminolhuda said he received the news shortly after welcoming his 12th grandchild. He was informed of the incident by his service centre head of staff, Md Ezam Taslim.
"I hope the perpetrator of this senseless and malicious act understands how much this vehicle has contributed to the community.
"I also urge the authorities to investigate thoroughly and bring those responsible to justice," he said.

Man arrested for selling duty-free liquor illegally
JOHOR BAHRU: A man was arrested for selling duty-free liquor illegally during a raid at a terrace house in Taman Mount Austin here on May 7. South Johor Bahru police chief ACP Raub Selamat said police arrested the man, 36, and seized liquor of various brands worth RM316,595 at about 10.30 am following a public tipoff. 'Liquor was also found in two vehicles, a Toyota Estima and Toyota Vellfire that were using fake license plates to avoid detection by the authorities,' he said in a media conference here today. The police believe that the man was acting alone for the past six months and bought the liquor at a duty-free area in Forest City near Iskandar Puteri before selling it at market prices to grocery stores and acquaintances. Samples will be sent to the Chemistry Department and the Royal Malaysian Customs Department for analysis to determine if the liquor is counterfeit, he said. The suspect, who tested negative for drugs and has no prior criminal record, has been remanded for 14 days from May 8 to facilitate investigations under SEction 135(1)(D) of the Customs Act 1967 and Section 108(3)(F) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
