Police have declined to comment on claims by Bandar Tun Razak Umno chief Rizalman Mokhtar that his purported drug test was a set-up.
Both Dang Wangi district police chief Shaharuddin Abdullah and a higher level police source declined to comment when asked about Rizalman's allegation.
Earlier today, the Umno leader said that he had not taken any drugs, and was only drinking coffee when he was arrested on Monday.
"If the (chemistry) report was indeed true, that my urine was tested positive (for drug use), then it is a trap to destroy my good name," he said at a press conference.
He added that the set-up was also meant to spoil his chances of being BN's candidate for the Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary seat.
Rizalman and ten others were picked up at the entertainment outlet during a police raid on April 2.
Shaharudin (photo) had said then that the Umno chief and the others all tested positive for banned substances methamphetamine and amphetamine.
Meanwhile, at a separate event in Kuala Lumpur, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the matter was being looked into by the police narcotics department.
"They will conduct an investigation," he said briefly before walking off.
Rizalman has refused to speculate on who could have possibly set him up.
He, however, declined to rule out the possibility of being sabotaged by MCA.
MCA had contested the Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary seat over five general elections and Rizalman had last year demanded the seat to be given to Umno.
Rizalman was accompanied by his father Mokhtar Samaad and wife Syazlina Bahardin, as well as some 50 supporters at the press conference. - Mkini
