Malaysia: Molotov cocktail thrown at politician's house

Categories: East Asia, Malaysia, Media & Journalism, Politics, Women & Gender

A molotov cocktail was thrown at the house of Malaysian politician Teresa Kok [1]. She condemned the act and attributed the “despicable act to certain media groups and blogs that have deliberately demonised and portrayed (her) as chauvinistic, anti Malay and anti Islam.” She adds: “They persisted in reporting similar fictitious and false stories. This may have also stoked the contempt and hatred towards me and my family.”
