‘Police will call up Khairul Azwan over conspiracy report’

-

KUALA LUMPUR: Police will be calling up Umno Youth deputy head Khairul Azwan Harun over his police report about a conspiracy by certain individual­s to topple Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and the Malaysian government, said Inspector- General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

He said Khairul Azwan would be summoned at anytime to assist the investigat­ion pertaining to his report.

“We call him up at anytime,” he told Bernama through the WhatsApp applicatio­n here yesterday.

On Tuesday, Khairul Azwan had lodged a police report at the Dang Wangi police headquarte­rs here alleging that former Bank Negara Malaysia Governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz, former AttorneyGe­neral Abdul Gani Patail and outgoing Malaysian AntiCorrup­tion Commission chief Abu Kassim Mohamed were believed to be involved in the conspiracy.

Abdul Gani, in commenting on the report yesterday, had said that the allegation that he was involved in such a conspiracy was just a ruse by certain parties to seek publicity.

Meanwhile, Abu Kassim, who attended a talk show programme at the Malaysian Institute Of Integrity here yesterday, declined to meet with the media.

He was seen leaving the programme around 10.30am, an hour and a half after the programme, which was also attended by former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, began.

Meanwhile, in Johor Baharu, the state Umno Youth urged the authoritie­s to immediatel­y investigat­e the allegation made by Khairul.

“We believe Khairul has strong reasons for lodging the police report.

“As such, we urge the authoritie­s to investigat­e it immediatel­y to find the truth,” said Johor Umno Youth head Hahasrin Hashim in a statement. — Bernama
