KUALA LUMPUR: Police have opened an investigation paper against a man who claimed that fire and rescue department director-general Mohammad Hamdan Wahid and former inspector-general of police Musa Hassan were involved in fraudulent activities.
Petaling Jaya district police chief Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said that this follows a police report lodged by Musa at the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters (IPD) at noon yesterday.
A similar report was also lodged by Hamdan at the Putrajaya IPD on the same day.
In both reports, the duo claimed that they were defamed by a certain individual.
“Investigations are being conducted under Section 500 of the Penal Code for defamation and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for using the Internet or telephone to spread false news,” Nik Ezanee told Bernama today.
Meanwhile, Putrajaya district police chief Mohd Fadzil Ali also confirmed that he had received a report from Hamdan, and that the case had been handed over to the Petaling Jaya IPD for further action.
Two video clips, lasting about three to four minutes each, went viral on social media, showing a man who claimed that Musa and Hamdan were involved in fraud cases including a get-rich-quick scheme.
Meanwhile, Musa, in a statement, said that he lodged the report as the allegations were malicious and intended to tarnish his and Hamdan’s reputation.
“I have also included some evidence to prove the accusation against me is untrue and malicious by nature, for further action by the police,” he said. - FMT
