Police have opened two investigation papers against former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin over his remarks during the Pulai and Simpang Jeram by-elections in Johor where he allegedly touched on the 3Rs (race, religion, royalty), according to Bernama.
The news agency quoted Deputy Inspector-General of Police Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay who said police will summon the Perikatan Nasional chairperson to record his statement this Sept 12.
"There are two investigation papers opened against Muhyiddin over his purported 'fatwa' and his remarks on the Malays losing their special position," he told reporters when met in Pulai this morning.
According to the report, Ayob said there have been no other new probes against other politicians regarding 3R issues so far.
Muhyiddin, also Bersatu president, allegedly told voters last Saturday that it is “haram” for them to vote for Pakatan Harapan’s candidate for Pulai, Suhaizan Kaiat.
The Pagoh MP also reportedly said the Malays are losing their power, besides claiming that the government of the day seems unable to understand issues faced by the Malays.
On Sept 4, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain confirmed that police are probing Muhyiddin under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act.
Meanwhile, Ayob also reportedly said police have wrapped up their probe against PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, and the investigation paper has been forwarded to the Attorney-General's Chambers for further action.
He also advised political leaders and the public not to touch on 3Rs including during the campaign for the upcoming Pelangai by-election in Pahang later this month.
“Police always monitor all social media platforms, and we will open investigations (if there is a violation). When you get investigated, charged, and sentenced by the court, only then you want to ask for sympathy,” he said. - Mkini
