Last week, the home of Beruas MP Dato' Ngeh Koo Ham was torched in the wee hours of the morning, destroying three of his vehicles but thankfully, there were no injuries. Remember also that in July last year, lawyer-activist Siti Kasim found pipe bombs underneath her car. We speak to the Perak DAP leader himself about his experience, as police work hard to uncover the motive behind such attacks.
