GEORGE TOWN: Police have confirmed the arrest of an individual allegedly linked to threats against independent preacher Zamri Vinoth. Penang police chief Datuk Azizee Ismail said a man in his 20s was detained in Bukit Mertajam early on Sunday morning (March 8). He said police received a report from Zamri at the Seberang Perai Tengah district police headquarters. "The suspect is being held to assist with the investigation under Sections 506 and 427 of the Penal Code,” he told Bernama on Sunday.
