INVESTIGATION PAPERS ON MUSA AMAN TO BE SENT TO DPP MONDAY
Top cop promises a fair and transparent investigation into allegations against Musa
THE investigation papers on the criminal intimidation case involving former Sabah chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman against Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin are expected to be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor (DPP) on Monday, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun.
He gave the assurance of a fair and transparent investigation into the allegations against Musa in accordance with the law.
“Police had, on Aug 23, arrested Musa to facilitate investigations into allegations of criminal intimidation filed by the Sabah Yang di-Pertua Negeri on May 14.
“He (Musa) was released on police bail as a remand order was not obtained from the Petaling Jaya magistrate’s court.
“Police will submit the investigation papers to the DPP’s office on Aug 27,” he said yesterday.
On Thursday, Musa, who was undergoing follow-up treatment at a private hospital in Subang Jaya, Selangor, was detained by police at 10am. However, the remand application under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code was rejected by the Petaling Jaya magistrate’s court.
Musa went to the United Kingdom to seek medical treatment after the 14th General Election. His disappearance had sparked much speculation, as the Immigration Department had no record of him leaving the country. However, it was later revealed that he and his family had left for London on May 16. Musa dismissed claims that he had left the country illegally.
He has yet to be sworn in as an assemblyman, and he needed to do so within three months after the first Sabah assembly sitting that began on June 11.
His return to Malaysia had also created a stir online. A photo uploaded by his political secretary, Joh Wid, on Facebook on Aug 21 showed Musa wearing a hospital gown and lying on a stretcher, with a caption stating that the politician had decided to return to Malaysia against the advice of his doctor at Clementine Churchill Hospital in London.
Musa returned to Malaysia on Tuesday via Singapore, arriving at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang. He was immediately admitted to the private hospital.
