Police are still awaiting feedback from the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) on five investigation papers opened against former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said some of the papers had been forwarded to the AGC while some were still being discussed with officials from the AGC.

“So there is no decision yet,” he told reporters at the Bukit Aman police headquarters today.

Several reports were lodged against the former prime minister over his remarks and blog postings which called for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s resignation, among others.

Meanwhile, Khalid said a special police team has been formed to investigate the shooting of PKR candidate for the Sarawak election Bill Kayong.

The top cop urged witnesses or those with information on the incident which had occurred in Miri this morning to come forward to assist police in the investigations.

“Right now I ask that no speculation is made because we will investigate the matter to ensure that we determine the motive and arrest those involved,” he said.

Khalid (photo) also confirmed that an officer attached to the Bukit Aman police headquarters will be sent to Sarawak to assist the Sarawak CID chief who is leading the investigations.

“We don't want any stone unturned. This is a very sensitive case because it can lead to speculations."

Khalid, however, could not confirm the motive behind the killing as of now.

Kayong - who was a candidate for the Bekenu constituency – was gunned down at the traffic light near Emart One-Stop Shopping Mall in Senadin. The 43-year-old died on the spot.

Police not involved in ransom

On another matter, Khalid has once again stressed that police had nothing to do with the ransom paid by families of the four former hostages taken by the Abu Sayyaf.

“I have said that we are not involved at all in paying the ransom so there's nothing for me to comment,” he said.

He was responding to the families of the four who insisted that they gave the RM12 million meant for ransom to the police.

Stressing that the sum was sent to Sandakan through Hong Leong Bank, the families’ spokesperson, Lau Cheng Kiong said the public can confirm the matter with the bank.
