Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar says the police are working with the country’s media regulatory body to track down those responsible for posting a death threat on YouTube.Khalid was responding to a report that a group called Anak Malaysia Anti Demokrasi released a video threatening to kill him by blowing up his car.He said he was not scared or intimidated by death threats, as it was part and parcel of being the country’s top policeman."Such threats do not scare me as the police chief to carry out the tasks entrusted to me. Such threats are common in the life of a police officer in performing his duties," he said in a statement.He added that the police will work with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to deal with the threat."Following several clips that were aired in the social website of a group who introduced themselves as 'Anak Malaysia Anti-Demokrasi' recently, I consider it as an irresponsible act by the group concerned aimed at giving a negative picture on the parliamentary democracy in the country."This shows that the group does not know the actual meaning of the democratic system which has been practiced in the country for so long, and they are threatening to kill me," he said.Khalid said it was worrying that there were group of people who were not using the existing democratic channel in the country and frequently committing unlawful acts in demanding for change."I am sure that Malaysians do not want to see the country turning chaotic due to the irresponsible acts of certain groups," he said.He also called on the groups with malicious intent to stop such acts as they had very serious security implication and could destroy social harmony and prosperity among the people of various races and religions in the country.In the YouTube clip dated February 23, a person whose face was blocked by the group’s logo and flanked by two others masked members read out the threat in Malay while holding a piece of paper.The narrator, whose voice was digitally altered, asked whether Malaysians could replace the Election Commission chief, chief justice and IGP through democratic means.Answering “No", he labelled the trio as "agents that derail democracy" before announcing that the group would kill the IGP by blowing up his car.The narrator said by doing do, government agencies would be afraid to commit crimes against democracy. – February 25, 2015.
