In a statement, Maria also called on police to act immediately on death threats against Syerleena Abdul Rashid, a member of the Assembly of Seri Delima, in order to discourage this "cowardly and violent" behavior from becoming a norm.
She said that it was time to consider an anti-stalking law because what happened to Syerleena involved repeated written communication, not consensual, with implicit threats, or a combination of those intended to intimidate. the speech does not extend to death threats as it is a serious crime aimed at intimidating his victim and silencing his voices.
"I myself have received a number of death threats during my career, some of which have been sent to members of my own family, and the police must begin to take these threats seriously. "
Maria said that if the police did not stop the death threats quickly, nothing would prevent such acts from continuing.
She said in Syerleena's case: a single death threat had "inspired" others to do the same.
"As we move forward in the construction of democracy in Malaysia, we must never allow this dangerous behavior to flourish in our society."
Police reported on Facebook that she was a traitor to Islam and that her death would not be a sin.
She was found in a mailbox at the service center on July 10th.
