Melaka police chief Zainol Samah said the allegations made in a viral video were baseless and intended to tarnish the reputation of the police and the Melaka government.
He said a police report had been filed and the case is being investigated under Section 500 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
he said in a statement today.This is a false accusation. The decision to move the Melaka Tengah police headquarters to a temporary facility was made because the existing building is over 100 years old, unsafe for use and would require an excessive amount of money to repair,
He said that out of a sense of responsibility, Melaka chief minister Ab Rauf Yusoh had made several visits to the district police headquarters in Banda Hilir, raised the issue to the higher authorities and secured approval for a temporary relocation.
He said the temporary facility, which is 96% renovated and has a Certificate of Occupancy since 2003, was chosen to ensure safety and comfort while awaiting approval for a new headquarters as part of the 12th Malaysia Plan’s Fifth Rolling Plan.
“The public is advised not to easily believe or spread unverified and baseless news.
he said.Legal action will be taken against anyone found making defamatory statements or spreading false news on social media platforms,
A nearly two-minute TikTok video, which started circulating today, claimed that personnel from the Melaka Tengah police headquarters had been evicted by the Melaka chief minister because the building had been sold to a third party. - FMT
