SUNGAI PETANI: A 35-year-old man was found with a gunshot wound in his head and both his legs and hands bound inside a hotel room in Taman Sejati here.

Mohd Nazir Ishak's assailants had used his shirt to tie his hands and legs. It is learnt that the victim from Perlis was shot once in the head.

State CID chief ACP Mohd Zakaria Ahmad said a hotel staff who had entered to clean the room located on the third floor, discovered the body which was on the bed covered in blood.

"Hotel records showed he registered alone and was supposed to check out this afternoon," he told reporters.

"We do not dismiss the possibility that the victim, who was only wearing trousers, was attacked by people he knew," he said. BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR: Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz is to meet the on Wednesday over the acquisition of land in Jalan Sultan and Jalan Bukit Bintang for the Sungai Buloh-Kajang line of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT).

He said he would also talk to Syarikat Prasarana Sdn Bhd, which was undertaking the project, to consider several matters including an alternative route before any acquisition.

He was speaking to reporters after a dialogue with the Federation of Chinese Associations of Malaysia (Hua Zong) on the matter.

Several property owners, historians and Chinese cultural activists had objected to the acquisition of land in Jalan Sultan for the project, saying it would involve tearing down heritage buildings more than 100 years old.

On new security laws to replace the Internal Security Act, Nazri said they would focus on terrorism, race and religious issues.

He said the new laws would not be repressive as the prime minister had promised meaningful reforms to the country's preventive laws.

"But these laws must comply with two fundamental issues that no one can be arrested on differences in political ideologies and extended detention can only be approve through the courts. These are the two safeguards," he said.
