KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor’s son Mohammad Reza has lodged a police report refuting claims that he has anything to do with a drug cartel in the state.
His police report, which has been widely circulated on social media, states that Mohammad Reza first received a text message from a friend who showed him a viral photo of him with a slanderous caption involving allegations about a drug cartel.
He made the police report to strongly deny the claims so that the police, as well as the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), could take action on this case.
The police report was lodged at the Tuaran police station at 2.45pm on Sunday (Jan 14).
Tuaran OCPD Supt Noraidin Ag Maidin mentioned that the report was made to deny any involvement in any drug cartel, and it was created to tarnish the image of the person mentioned and to smear the name of his family.
“We will be investigating this case. Please do not spin this issue, thank you,” he said.
On Dec 26, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay announced in Kuala Lumpur that police had cracked a major drug syndicate operating in Sabah with the arrest of the kingpin, a “Datuk Seri” who is also a patron of a little-known NGO.
In total, 10 people have been held for alleged involvement in the drug syndicate.
