Police start probe on MACC chief

PENANG, March 2,2009 – Malaysianinsider– Bernama

The Penang police have opened investigation papers on Anti-Corruption Commission Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan, state police chief Datuk Ayub Yaakob said today.

He said the probe was being conducted under Section 500 of the Penal Code for defamation following a report lodged against Said.

“We have not called him yet, may be soon,” he told Bernama when asked whether the police would summon Said to have his statement recorded.

On Feb 23, Parti Keadilan Rakyat youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin lodged a report at the Dang Wangi police station claiming Said had made a malicious remark in Penang against Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.
