Molotov cocktail attack on MIC official house<\/h5>\n

KLANG, Tues:
 <\/div>\n

It was a nerve-racking 15 minutes for a family of seven in Kapar on Sunday morning when two Molotov cocktails were thrown into their house. <\/p>\n\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The mattress, pillows and blankets in the hall caught fire in the incident at 4.50pm in Jalan Keretapi Lama here. <\/p>\n

No one was injured, as they put out the fire with water from the bathroom before escaping through the back door. <\/p>\n

R.M. Thangaiah, 58, his wife A. Indrani, 50, and three of their children were sleeping in the hall when they heard the window panes being smashed.<\/p>\n

As they got up to check and realised it was a brick, the first Molotov cocktail landed inside, narrowly missing their son Rajagunalan, 26, and daughters, Rajarajeswari, 21, and Tharani, 7.
Their eldest son, Rajakumaran, 28, and his pregnant wife were sleeping in one of the two rooms in the house. <\/p>\n

Then, the second Molotov cocktail landed inside. <\/p>\n

Thangaiah, the Sungai Puloh MIC branch chairman, said the fire spread very fast. <\/p>\n

The smoke from the burning mattress almost blinded them and they were suffocating, he said. <\/p>\n

"It was the most frightening 15 minutes of my life. For a moment, I thought we were all going to die."<\/p>\n

He said it was a double tragedy for him as 13 months ago, his house in Kampung Sungai Puloh burnt down in a fire that razed 18 houses there. <\/p>\n

Thangaiah’s family then moved to the current rented house.<\/p>\n

He said one of his neighbours saw a man wearing a helmet and a dark jacket running towards a motorcycle where another man was waiting. Both sped off from the scene. <\/p>\n

He believes the incident was politically-motivated as there was some misunderstanding on Saturday.<\/p>\n

"I am scared to leave my house now. I don’t know who may be waiting to harm me or my family." <\/p>\n

District police chief ACP Mohd Rodwan Yusof said they had recorded statements from witnesses and hoped to pick up the suspects soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
