Cops confirm Istana has lodged report on ‘Hishammuddin’s letter’
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have confirmed receiving a report from a representative from Istana Negara regarding a letter allegedly written by foreign minister Hishammuddin Hussein to appear before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to present the support of MPs he has.
Without divulging further details, Kuala Lumpur police chief Azmi Abu Kassim said the report was received at the Brickfields district police headquarters today.
Commenting further, Brickfields district police chief Anuar Omar said the complainant was an Istana Negara officer who lodged the report, after receiving a WhatsApp message showing a letter using the letterhead of the Barisan Nasional (BN) treasurer-general.
“The complainant received a message on WhatsApp saying that Istana Negara has received a letter from BN for the purpose of forming a new Malaysian government.
“The complainant then checked with Istana Negara and found that the letter was not received by the palace and suspected that the stamp was fake,” he said today.
Anuar said his team was currently investigating the matter under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998.
Yesterday, Hishammuddin’s press secretary, Mohd Hafiz Ariffin lodged a police report at Dang Wangi IPD regarding a letter allegedly written to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, claiming that Hishammuddin, who is also the BN treasurer-general, had the support to become the new prime minister.
According to him, the letter was fake and was disseminated with the intention of tarnishing Hishammuddin’s reputation as well as creating public confusion. - FMT
