IPOH – Police have recorded a statement from Perak DAP vice-chairman Abdul Aziz Bari over his remarks on the emergency proclamation and Yang di-Pertuan Agong during a Facebook Live session last month.
State police chief Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said Aziz, who is also Tebing Tinggi assemblyman, spent over one hour giving his statement at the Lahat police station here.
“His statement was recorded from 11.45am to 1pm today to facilitate investigations,” he told Bernama.
He said the probe is being carried out by Bukit Aman’s Classified Criminal Investigation Unit under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
The investigation was launched after a report was lodged against the state opposition leader over his comments. – Bernama, February 24, 2021
