Man held over vandalising MP's MPV

Senseless act: The damage to the MPV belonging to Aminolhuda. BATU PAHAT: A 37-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the vandalism of a multi- purpose vehicle (MPV) belonging to Sri Gading MP Aminolhuda Hassan. Batu Pahat OCPD Asst Comm Shahrulanuar Mushaddat Abdul-lah Sani confirmed the vandalism took place at around 11am on Saturday at the MP's service centre. 'The suspect rode a motorcycle to the service centre at Parit Yaani, where he vandalised the parked vehicle at the location. 'Based on investigation and further action pertaining to this incident, police then arrested the suspect at a house within the Tongkang Pechah area here around 3pm on the same day,' he said yesterday. He said police also seized several items from the suspect, including the motorcycle, clothes, and tool used to damage the MPV. He said the suspect tested positive for drugs but further background checks found he had no prior criminal record. ACP Shahrulanuar Mushaddat added that the suspect would be remanded until Wednesday to assist with investigation under Section 427 of the Penal Code and Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Earlier, Aminolhuda said he received the news from his service centre chief of staff at about 11am on Saturday. 'The car was donated by my wife for my office staff to use since I won the Parit Yaani state seat in the 13th General Election,' he said. Aminolhuda, who is also Johor Pakatan Harapan and state Amanah chairman, added that the damage to the MPV cost thousands of ringgit. 'The vandal used a hammer to leave 17 dents all over the MPV, including breaking the two side mirrors and the back lights,' he said. He added that his children and the people of Parit Yaani state constituency had fond memories of using the MPV between 2013 and 2022. 'We decided to continue using the MPV when I was elected as Sri Gading MP to manage the people's welfare here.'
