KUALA LUMPUR: The police have completed their recording of a statement from PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang (pic) over his alleged questioning of the authority of the Pardons Board.
An investigating officer from the Classified Crime Investigation Unit of the Criminal Investigation Department at Bukit Aman recorded the statement at the PAS headquarters here. The officer arrived at the office at 11.15 am and left at 12.50 pm.
Abdul Hadi’s political secretary Mohd Syahir Che Sulaiman said the recording of the statement took about an hour.
“Tok Guru (Abdul Hadi) extended full cooperation to the investigating officer. He replied to all the questions posed to him,” he told reporters who had gathered at the party headquarters from 9 am.
Mohd Syahir also said that a lawyer was present when the statement was recorded and added that the PAS president would also extend his full cooperation if it was necessary to record more statements.
Abdul Hadi is alleged to have disputed the authority of the Pardons Board in a talk he gave at the PAS headquarters in Bakri, Muar, on Aug 26.
Police are also investigating the case under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act for misuse of network facilities.
