Home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail says the probe papers were referred to the Negeri Sembilan prosecutor’s office but were returned with further instructions for the investigating officer.
In a written parliamentary reply, home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the initial stage of the investigation had been completed and the probe papers referred to the Negeri Sembilan prosecutor’s office on Aug 21 for review and further instructions.
He said the probe papers were returned on Sept 3 with further instructions for the investigating officer.
“Accordingly, the investigation is still ongoing, after which the investigation paper will be resubmitted to the state prosecutor’s office for further instructions.”
On July 29, Negeri Sembilan police chief Alzafny Ahmad said police had received a report from a 55-year-old complainant who saw a video clip of Shamsulkahar’s speech during a ceramah.
The MP is being investigated for allegedly making statements intended to cause public fear or alarm, the improper use of network services, and promoting ill will and hostility during the election campaign.
Several DAP leaders, including Jelutong MP RSN Rayer, had also lodged a police report against Shamsulkahar over his remarks allegedly linking the party to an image deemed insulting to the Sultan of Selangor.
Rayer said the Umno MP allegedly referred to the edited image of a pig in royal attire, which is believed to have targeted Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, before asking why DAP had dared to do such a thing.
He said Shamsulkahar’s remarks gave the audience the false impression that DAP was responsible for producing the image.
Rayer accused Shamsulkahar of making defamatory and malicious remarks against the party and urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation. - FMT
