(Bernama pic)KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today said that an “evil” and “extremist” culture had taken root in the country, following an attack on the 12-year-old son of Rafizi Ramli (PH-Pandan) yesterday
Anwar said he had ordered home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail to ensure that immediate action is taken to prevent a recurrence of such an incident.
The prime minister said both of them had vowed to act swiftly and transparently.
“We must not only take action (over this case), we must put an end to this evil culture,” he said in the Dewan Rakyat.

Police said Rafizi’s son was dragged and stabbed with a syringe by an assailant at a shopping mall in Putrajaya at around 2pm yesterday.
The incident is believed to have occurred at the mall’s drop-off area, while the boy was with his mother and their driver. The assault involved two men on a motorcycle, dressed in black and wearing helmets, whom Rafizi claimed had been following his wife’s car.
The former PKR deputy president also voiced suspicion that the assault was a warning to him for being outspoken on certain matters. - FMT
