The Selangor government has not received more information about the detention of a man, believed to be the ex-boyfriend of Elizabeth Wong, the state tourism, consumer affairs and environment committee chairperson.

"Information received by the state government was based on reports from newspapers and news portals,” Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said when commenting on reports of the man’s detention by Indonesian authorities last Friday.

A local English daily today reported that Batam Immigration Department confirmed that a Malaysian man was detained on suspicion of possessing false travel documents.

The man known as Azmin Helmi, 37, was detained for investigation for seven days, according to newspaper reports.

He is wanted by Malaysian police to facilitate investigation into Wong's intimate photographs appearing on the Internet in 2009.

Khalid said he would continue to monitor developments and hold discussions with the PKR political bureau that was scheduled to meet on the issue today.

"Unfortunately, it (the meeting) was cancelled as Anwar (Ibrahim) will only be back the following day."

PKR will hold discussions to assess the issue and will make its views public this week.

He said the state exco also discussed allocation to help residents of Pangsapuri Teratai in Bukit Subang who lost their roofing to strong winds yesterday.

The state government will send a valuer to assess the amount of damage suffered by the affected residents.

Khalid also said the state’s treasury reserves at end 2011 rose to over RM1.9bil compared to less RM500mil in 2007.

However, the state treasury report, including its reserves, have not been audited by the Auditor-General’s Department.
