KUCHING (Dec 16, 2013): Two men robbed a Sarawak assistant minister of his four-wheel-drive vehicle in Kota Sentosa near here today, a police spokesman said.
He said the men, one of whom was masked and both were armed with knives, pounced on Liwan Lagang, the Culture and Heritage Assistant Minister , as he was alighting from the vehicle to buy a newspaper at 6.10am.
The trio were involved in a struggle and Liwan was injured in the right thigh and right knee, he said.
The spokesman said the men fled in Liwan's Toyota Fortuner vehicle bearing registration number QAT 6558.
