Pokok Sena MP Mahfuz Omar has given a statement to police for allegedly breaching the standard operating procedure (SOP) in Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) recently.
Mahfuz, when contacted by Bernama today, said he spent about one and a half hours giving his statement at the Kota Setar district police headquarters in Alor Setar, Kedah yesterday.
“I hope this case can be solved fast, whether to compound or charge me in court. Delaying the case would not give a good impression on the police as it may be taken to mean I was treated like part of a privileged group,” he said.
In a video posted on his Facebook, Mahfuz said he cooperated with police during the investigation process and thanked them for treating him well.
“I have asked all those linked to me in this case to give their statements if requested by police,” he added.
Meanwhile, Kota Setar district police chief Ahmad Shukri Mat Akhir said police yesterday recorded statements from 13 individuals, including Mahfuz, his assistant and aid recipients, as part of investigations into the case.
Mahfuz recently received social media attention over a photograph of him eating at a table with a group of people after distributing aid to the local community.
