Police won't be calling up Tan Sri trio for now, says IGP

Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said today there is no necessity at the moment to call up the three individuals who are alleged to be involved in a conspiracy to topple Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and the Malaysian government.

Khalid said the police would, first of all, call up Umno Youth vice-head, Khairul Azwan Harun, to find out what information and proof he (Khairul Azwan) had to enable him to make such a statement.

"We are not going to call the three yet. We are going to call the complainant because we want to know what he has when he lodged the police report. It is a very serious accusation.

"Let us find out what he had first, when he lodged the police report, before we proceed to call the three (individuals)," he said at a media conference after the official opening of KPD Mart Community at Kolej Unikop in Kuala Lumpur.

Yesterday, Khalid informed that the police would call Khairul Azwan in the near future concerning the police report lodged last Tuesday.

"We have yet to meet the complainant, Insya-Allah (God willing), today or tomorrow, to record his (Khairul Azwan's) statement," he said.

Khairul Azwan filed a police report against former attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail, former Bank Negara governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz and chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Abu Kassim Mohamed, all three of whom have the honorific title 'Tan Sri'.

In the report lodged at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters, Khairul Azwan claimed that the three individuals named were believed to be involved in a conspiracy to topple Najib and the Malaysian government.
