Cops take Muhyiddin’s statement in 3R-related probe

 

Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin had previously denied issuing a ‘fatwa’ declaring it was ‘haram’ to vote for Pakatan Harapan’s candidate.

PETALING JAYA: Police this morning took Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement in a probe into the former prime minister’s speech allegedly touching on race, religion and royalty, or 3R issues, in the run-up to the Aug 9 by-election in Johor.

It is understood that the police had met with Muhyiddin, who is the Perikatan Nasional chairman, at the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) in Kuala Lumpur.

A few days ago, deputy inspector-general of police Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said there were two investigation papers opened against Muhyiddin, following statements he made on “fatwas” and the Malays losing power.
