Signboard of Kedah MB's residence splashed with paint

The signboard of the Kedah Menteri Besar’s official residence, Seri Mentaloon, was found splashed with blue and red paint this morning.

The paint also hit some plants and a spotlight in front of the residence in Alor Setar, while a plastic bag filled with red paint was spotted near the scene, Kosmo reported.

The incident is being investigated by the police, it reported.

Police said the paint hit the front wall and gate of the residence, Bernama reported.

“A police personnel said nothing was amiss when he reported for duty at 7am. So, we believe it must have happened before 9.55am because the staff on duty only realised the incident around that time before reporting to the police at 10am,” said Kota Setar District Police chief ACP Ahmad Shukri Mat Akhir.

“From our investigation, we found two plastic bags containing blue paint and two more plastic bags filled with red paint from the area near the incident that are believed to have been left behind by the suspects,” Bernama reported Ahmad Shukri as saying when met at the scene today.

He said police will review the closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera near the Pantai Johor and Alor Merah traffic light as there are no CCTVs placed around the residence.

“The forensic team has also conducted its investigation and the case is being investigated under Section 427 of the Penal Code for committing mischief,” he said.
