The photo of Ng Nun Tatt that went viral.
Ng Mun Tatt said at a press conference here today that his case concerned money and his assailants wrote the words “Saya hina Islam” on his body as a tactic for the public to beat him up if he escaped from them, Malaysian Insider reported.
He added that he was shocked to see his photograph which was taken at the police station going viral on the Internet.
He said he was also shocked when the police said his case was triggered by the Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee Ramadan bak kut teh photo.
“I don’t even know anything about them and I have not offended anyone recently. I have a Facebook account, but I only posted about my haircut and my English and Malay are not very good,” he said.
“It was not about any (Facebook) posting. They (kidnappers) only wanted money and purposely wrote Saya Hina Agama Islam (I insulted Islam) on my body because they did not want me to escape when I was in their custody, saying that I would be beaten up by any Muslim if I planned to get away,” he said, Star Online reported.
Ng said he was having a meal with his girlfriend around 4.30am when eight men abducted him.
“They told my friends not to make a move and took me away,” he said.
“I was drugged, blindfolded, assaulted and did not know where I was being taken. I remember them asking my brother-in law for my bank pin number and the next thing I remember was waking up naked in an estate at about 10am with the words on my body,” said Ng.
He said he then ran out from the estate where a motorcyclist along the Duke Highway took him to a police station.
Ng’s brother-in law, Mak Nui Weng, 28, who was also present at the press conference, said the abductors had asked for RM5,000.
“They demanded that I transfer the money immediately. I managed to deposit RM3,000 into Ng’s account at about 8am. But thank God, they did not kill him,” Mak said, adding that the money deposited was withdrawn by the abductors, Star Online reported.
Yesterday, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said initial investigations revealed that Ng was beaten up by the assailants allegedly over his insensitive statements connected with the sex bloggers’ Ramadan greeting.
He said the police detained four youths in Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya yesterday morning, in connection with the assault.
“We believe the motive (behind the assault) is revenge,” Khalid said, Bernama reported.
In the 3am incident yesterday, Ng was abducted by eight men and forced into a Toyota Alphard vehicle while he was having supper with his girlfriend at a restaurant in Shah Alam.
His girlfriend was unharmed.
Ng was later found stripped naked and abandoned at the 4.5km Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway near the exit to Setiawangsa. He sustained head and body injuries and had the words “Saya hina Islam” written on his body.
A motorcyclist sent him to the Jalan Tun Razak police station where a report was lodged.
