He was responding to Malaysiakini’s report yesterday on how a number of whistleblowers - whose information led to the arrest of Johor kingpin Goh Cheng Poh aka Tengku Goh in 2007 - had been forced to implicate six police officers investigating the case.

"As I have always said, no one can place themselves above the law," said Hishammuddin Hussein (right) when met by Malaysiakini in the Parliament lobby today.

The policemen have eventually been acquitted, the last of them in mid-2011.
