HOME MINISTER RECEIVES TWO LIVE BULLETS, THREATENING NOTE       

    KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 (Bernama) -- Home Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein
today received two live bullets with a threatening note in an envelope posted to
his office in Putrajaya.
    
    The envelope, which was received at 2pm, also contained a booklet in which
the handwritten note was slipped in.
    
    Met by reporters after attending a breaking of fast function at the
Al-Ikhlasiyah mosque di Pantai Dalam here, Hishammuddin, however, declined to
say what were the contents of the note.
    
    "I can confirm that I received two live bullets together with a threatening
note today. This is the first time I have experienced such a thing.
    
    "The envelope was received by an aide of mine and he has since lodged a
police report," he said.
        
    Hishammuddin, however, said it would not dampen his spirit to continue
discharging his duties as entrusted to him.
    
    "I view this as something serious. However, it will not deter me from
carrying out my duties as entrusted to me by Prime Minister Najib Tun
Razak.
    
    "This might be the work of some frustrated people, probably because they are
not happy with the work we (Home Ministry) are doing. But I am unfazed by this
threat," he added.
