The Inspector General of Police should state what has become of the probe into video clips alleged to feature a high ranking MACC official in Bali last year.
According to a media report in November last year, the Attorney-General returned the file to the police for further investigations. The IGP is quoted by the Malaysian Insight in an article dated 16 November 2017 as saying “We submitted three times. We now need to investigate further, following the instruction given to us.” After that things appear to have gone silent. I want to know why.
If the police can wrap up investigations so quickly into “big and complicated” cases such as that involving land in Jalan Semarak, why is there a delay into the probe over the videoclips?
It is pertinent to note that the IGP is also reported to have said in that same report that the Chief Commissioner of the MACC, Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad, “would be called whenever possible” to have his statement recorded. I ask that the IGP state whether or not a statement has been taken from Dzulkifli until now to assist in the probe.
This is a matter of public importance. I raised it in Parliament in the last sitting and I will raise it again in the next sitting scheduled for March. Silence on part of the police in a case like this does not augur well for the IGP or the Attorney-General’s chambers. The IGP must respond and explain what has happened forthwith.
