PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu today alleged that he has received several threats to his family's safety, following "libellous" reports on his speech in Tasik Gelugor, Penang, last month.
"Yesterday, I received a mobile text message from someone threatening to splash acid on my wife and daughter," he said at the party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
Reading out the text message from an unidentified source, he said that the "serious threat" was among several others received over the past few days.
It is because of this that he has decided to make good on his intention to take Malay-language daily Utusan Malaysia, which published the "libellous" report on Aug 27, to court.
His lawyer, Hanipa Maidin, who was also present, said a letter has been sent to the daily demanding a retraction of the report and an apology within 24 hours.
