KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 7 — Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain emphasised the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is not under the authority of political figures, particularly regarding matters involving the 3R (race, religion, and the royal institution).
He said the police will not only take action against politicians but also initiate investigations against members of the public if they touch on issues related to the 3R.
"For example, in the defamation case involving the Kedah Chief Minister (Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor), we arrested a suspect who was a member of the public in the middle of the night. To suggest the police were influenced by certain politicians is unjustified.
“The 3R issue is sensitive, and it does not matter which political party is in power," Razarudin said to the press after officiating the closing ceremony of the 4th National Forensic Symposium at the PDRM College in Cheras earlier today.
He was asked to comment on the allegations regarding the matter on social media and added that PDRM also implemented stern action concerning 3R issues during the previous government's administration.
"We will take serious action, especially involving the royal institution. We do not want the nine Malay Rulers in our country to be insulted, condemned or defamed,” Razarudin said.
