Former DAP branch chairman's murder not linked to politics or race, say cops


IPOH: The murder of former Kampung Jering DAP branch chairman, Wong Kong Ting, 56, in Ayer Tawar, near here, last week had nothing to do with politics or racial issues, said Perak police chief Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

"The victim was an oil palm replanting contractor and we are also investigating if there was any business rivalry involved," he told reporters after attending the monthly police gathering at the Perak police headquarters here on Tuesday.
