Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching, who is also the deputy communications minister, confirmed the matter today, saying the break-in at the office occurred two weeks ago and that a police report had been lodged.

“Yes, there were break-ins, including at our office. The losses are estimated to reach thousands of ringgit with items reported lost including tablets and mobile phones. We also need to replace the CCTV cameras.

“I leave it to the police to investigate. I’m confident that they will do their best and take swift action to identify the culprits. The sooner the better,” she said.

Kulai police chief Tan Seng Lee confirmed receiving the report on the Kulai MP’s office break-in on July 9. He said the case is being investigated under Section 451 of the Penal Code for house trespass with the intent to commit an offence.
