KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 — The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have sought assistance from their partners abroad to track down a foreigner believed to own a phone number used to send threatening messages to the wife of former economy minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail said they are confident the suspect will be identified soon.
“We have sought assistance from our partners, and I believe we will obtain the information as quickly as possible,” he told reporters after officiating the PDRM Special Dialogue III 2025 here today.
On August 22, Bernama reported that police had identified the phone number used to send threats to Rafizi’s wife, registered under a foreigner’s name, and are looking for the suspect.
When asked about claims linking a suspect to the recent attack on Rafizi’s son, Khalid said the matter remains under investigation.
“We cannot confirm those claims at this time. The investigation is ongoing,” he said.
Regarding the type of liquid reportedly injected into Rafizi’s son during the attack, Khalid said authorities are awaiting the hospital’s chemical analysis report.
On August 13, Rafizi’s 12-year-old son was attacked by two men on a motorcycle who allegedly injected him with an unknown liquid at a mall in Putrajaya.
Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the incident occurred at around 2pm at the mall’s drop-off zone.
