'Senseless act': MP shocked after service vehicle vandalised
KUALA LUMPUR: Sri Gading member of Parliament Aminolhuda Hassan shared his shock and sadness over the vandalism of a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) used by his staff for official duties. 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.
