BESUT – Police opened an investigation paper on former Jabi state assemblyman Mohd Iskandar Jaafar, who allegedly organised an open house on the first day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri last Thursday.
Besut district police chief Abdul Rozak Muhammad said the investigation was being carried out under Regulation 17 P.U (A) 225/2021 for violating the standard operating procedures of the movement control order.
“Iskandar was present at the Besut district police headquarters to record his statement at 8.15pm yesterday. The investigation is ongoing,” he said when contacted today.
Last Thursday, some photos went viral on social media showing several guests, including children, enjoying Raya dishes at Iskandar’s house.
Meanwhile, Iskandar, who is also the Setiu Umno division secretary, said no compound has been issued so far.
“There was no open house...but I will leave it to police to investigate and make appropriate considerations,” he said. – Bernama, May 17, 2021
