MELAKA – A man who was detained on Jan 13 as part of a probe into deceit and an intention to cheat – after claiming at a press conference that he is the “Sultan of Malaysia” and “owner of the Malaysian government” – was released on police bail today.
The 47-year-old, whose guarantor was his father-in-law, was granted a months’ bail.
He claims to be named “Sultan Sheikh Ahmad Abdul Kadir Iskandar D’zulkarnain.”
“The suspect was released since the investigation papers have yet to be completed, and the remand period ended today,” Jasin district police chief Deputy Superintendent Arshad Abu said in a statement, adding that the case will be referred to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for further action, Bernama reported.
On Jan 13, the man held a press conference in Sungai Rambai, here and made the extraordinary claim of being the “owner” of the Malaysian government and is therefore entitled “to demand” to hold the posts of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Prime Minister.
As the descendant of “owners of Malaysia”, the man also demanded RM300 billion as compensation for his disenfranchised ancestors.
An initial police investigation revealed that the man has a criminal record of four offences, which include cheating, burglary and failure to provide a statement to Perak police.
