Shah Alam MP Khalid Abdul Samad has joined the list of opposition leaders claiming to have had their mobile phones hacked by irresponsible parties.

Khalid said a "provocative" text message was sent from his hijacked phone number, which is aimed at causing a rift between him and the DAP.

The message reads: ‘Barang siapa yang tidak berhukum dengan hukum Allah, maka dia jatuh kafir. Sedarlah! DAP terang2 tolak hudud & Islam' (Whoever does not abide by Allah's laws become infidels. Wake up! DAP clearly rejects hudud and Islam).

Khalid said he only found out about this around 2pm last last Friday and lodged a police report at the Shah Alam Section 11 police station on the same day.

In the police report, Khalid, who is also Selangor PAS deputy commissioner, said he was bombarded with queries from several people who had received that message.

"One of the individuals who contacted me asked why I was spreading such a message... when in fact I did not know anything about this," he said.

In a statement today, Khalid said it was done with malicious intention to disrupt the unity among the Pakatan Rakyat leadership and their supporters.

Penang DAP leaders too victims

He said he has also referred the matter to Maxis, the service provider he uses.

Likewise, DAP leaders have also fallen victim to similar hackings that also took place on the same day.

One of the victims, Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy ( right ), lodged a police report last Saturday after discovering his mobile number was hacked the night before.

The message sent out with Ramasamy's mobile number read: "Remember, Malay voters of Sungai Melayu/Kampung Melayu, your stalls will be demolished after the by-election."

Penang DAP state executive councillors Phee Boon Poh and Chong Eng, as well as Seri Delima assemblyperson RSN Rayer, have also complained that similar racial messages were sent out using their mobile phone numbers.

The messages coincided with the last Sunday's Bukit Gelugor by-election which the DAP won, as well as the coming Teluk Intan by-election, which the DAP is also contesting.
