PENANG, 2 March 2009: The Penang police have opened investigation papers on Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan.
State police chief Datuk Ayub Yaakob said today the probe was being conducted under Section 500 of the Penal Code for defamation following a report lodged against Said.
“We have not called him yet, maybe soon,” he told Bernama when asked whether the police would summon Said to have his statement recorded.
On 23 Feb, Parti Keadilan Rakyat youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin lodged a report at the Dang Wangi police station claiming Said made a malicious remark in Penang against Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.
