Specific Death Threats Made Against Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh

A 68-year-old workshop owner was arrested for allegedly making death threats against Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh. The suspect is accused of stating, "Umno Youth Chief is going overboard on the KK Super Mart issue, one day, he will be surely gunned down." This alleged threat was reportedly made on March 20.
Remarks Overheard at Workshop

The alleged death threat was overheard by a member of the public at the suspect's workshop on March 20, where the individual was having their car repaired. The retired clerk, aged 62, reported hearing the remarks directed at Dr Akmal, who is also the Merlimau assemblyman. The complainant did not engage with the suspect at the time but was concerned by the nature of the words used.
Police Reports Filed

Following the incident, the member of the public contacted Dr Akmal to inform him of the threat and advise him to lodge a police report. Dr Akmal himself subsequently filed a police report at the Jasin police headquarters on the same day the arrest was made. The Melaka Tengah police chief assistant commissioner confirmed the arrest and the details of the alleged threat.
Suspect's Admission and Ongoing Investigation

The 68-year-old workshop owner was detained in Bukit Duyong. While he was released on police bail for health reasons after his statement was taken, investigations are continuing. The suspect reportedly admitted to expressing dissatisfaction regarding Dr Akmal's statements on the KK Super Mart issue. The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code.
