GEORGE TOWN – The DAP legal bureau revealed that its embattled Pasir Bedamar assemblyman Terence Naidu tested negative for his second urine test conducted at a private clinic here.

The test was conducted at an O2 clinic after police alleged that the Perak DAP leader had tested positive for four types of narcotics after they conducted a raid at a karaoke joint near a shopping mall in Prai last Thursday.

After he was released by police on January 14, Naidu went to the private clinic the next day to undergo another urine test.

The results, which came back today, were negative for any form of drugs, DAP legal bureau chairman Ramkarpal Singh Deo said in a statement.

The test was conducted at the Pathlab laboratory here.

“Naidu went to the private clinic after he was unhappy with the results of the first test as police claimed that he had tested positive. Police refused to allow for a second urine test to be conducted on him,” Ramkarpal said.

Ramkarpal said that Naidu has now lodged a follow-up police report at the Bukit Mertajam district police headquarters following the results of the second urine test, seeking for police to expedite their investigation into the matter.

“We hope that police will investigate the matter and bring justice to the case,” Ramkarpal said.

It was reported that Naidu had tested positive for drugs together with 36 other patrons at the karaoke joint.

Two policemen were also detained in the raid, and were also found to have tested positive. – The Vibes, January 19, 2022
