ALOR GAJAH, July 3 — Enforcement officers and personnel of agencies under the Home Affairs Ministry (KDN) have been reminded not to disclose to the public any internal investigations they are carrying out.
Its deputy minister Datuk Seri Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said any officer or member found disseminating internal investigation reports could be punished according to existing laws to ensure the public gets more accurate information about a case.
"For whatever offence committed by officers and enforcement personnel, action will be taken based on existing regulations.
"What is also important for the people is to refer to the right information channel, which is better," he said.
Shamsul was speaking to the press after the 52nd Anniversary Celebration of the Malaysian Volunteers Corp Department (Rela) today at the Parade Ground of the Rela Malaysia Training Academy in Sungai Udang, which was also attended by KDN secretary-general Datuk Ruji Ubi and Rela director-general Yahya Sulaiman.
Previously, Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said a police report had been filed by the case investigating officer at the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters on Sunday (June 30), following the spread of several photos of the body of autistic child Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin on social media.
He said a report was made on the distribution of investigation documents, which will be used in court hearings through the Telegram app.
