PETALING JAYA: An opposition MP from Sabah has criticised federal authorities for transferring police officers who are being investigated for extortion to Sabah and Sarawak.

Isnaraissah Munirah Majilis said Sabah and Sarawak were not dumping grounds.

“As it is, we are lagging in terms of infrastructure, and now you are sending over problematic people to serve (the public).

“How can we progress? Stop treating us like this,” the Kota Belud MP said in a Facebook post.

Earlier today, it was reported that nine police officers who were being probed for extorting a businessman in Gombak, Selangor, were transferred to Sabah and Sarawak.

The officers, ranging from constables to sub-inspectors from the narcotics crime investigation department, were detained on Friday.

Investigations are currently ongoing. - FMT
