Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Azmi Abu Kassim said in October last year, the businessman's house in Sibu was shot at and he had been threatened. "The businessman had also received several threats via phone calls telling him to 'jaga baik-baik' (watch out)," he said.
"He previously had a misunderstanding with one of an underworld member he calls 'Brother'. It was related to a business matter," he said adding that the dispute has to do with the shooting incident.
To add Sibu police were assisting in the investigations.
“We are liaising with them to locate the brother who we believe could be involved in the shooting,” said Selangor police chief Datuk Abdul Samah.
