Sepang police have warned the public not to utter the word ‘bomb’, even in a joking manner, when at the KL International Airport (KLIA) and KL International Airport 2 (klia2) as it is considered a very serious offence.
Bernama quotes Sepang Police Chief ACP Abdul Aziz Ali of saying that the word ‘bomb’ is categorised as a threat under the Airport Emergency Plan.
Abdul Aziz said that individuals who decide it’s funny to utter the word at the airports will be detained immediately and taken to the Sepang police headquarters (IPD), where they could be charged under Penal Code for inciting fear. If convicted, they could spend a maximum of seven years in jail.
Or worse…miss your flight!
“They will incur losses when they miss their flight and need to buy new (flight) tickets,” he told Bernama.
Abdul Aziz also added that last year, 15 individuals were detained and charged at the Sepang Magistrate’s Court.
So, the next time you have a super yummy chicken pie at the airport, we suggest that you avoid using the word ‘bomb’ to describe it.
