Sabah DAP women’s wing chief Jannie Lasimbang said the incident happened at around 1.30pm in their Donggongon office, about 8km from here.
“I suspect whoever did this had bad intentions. So we decided to lodge a police report at the Penampang police station this afternoon,” she said.
According to Jannie, it was fortunate that at the time, the security guard was resting inside his office.
The security guard informed her that he had smelled something burning and went out of his office to look for the source.
“He told me that he saw the burning envelope and a box of matches slipped under the office’s main door,” she said.
Meanwhile, Jannie said her office is taking precautions and cooperating with the police in their investigation.
