DAP’s Tony Pua has arrived at Bukit Aman to have his statement recorded in connection with his recent comments on the sentence reduction for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Accompanied by a lawyer and others including DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng, Pua arrived at the Federal police headquarters around 12.50pm on Monday (Feb 5).
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain previously stated that investigations had been launched after Pua’s comments, posted on his Facebook page, were deemed to be insulting to the royal institution.
Razarudin explained that the comments contained “elements of inciting the public to hate and insult the royal institutions”, specifically the rights of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong enshrined under Article 42 of the Federal Constitution.
The investigations are being carried out by the Special Investigation Unit (USJT).
