Police can contact the Petaling Jaya church, which came under the spotlight for a breaking fast event last weekend, to see if individuals impersonating police had warned the church to cancel the event, said activist Syed Azmi Alhabshee.
This comes after inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar denied a police report was lodged against the Church of Assumption's event, prompting the cancellation.
Syed Azmi, who was consulted by the church over the event, said the church did not ask the individuals who claim they were police, nor did they seek a copy of the alleged police report as they took it in good faith.
"The church has CCTV and if the police would like to have it for investigation, I guess they can contact the church.
"The church and I believe in the good faith of our police system and we were surprised over the news.
"Whether it's the case of an imposter, well it's up to the police to investigate . For me and the organisers, we are just happy if assistance needed. If not, it's also okay," he said.
Khalid this morning said Selangor police did not send anyone to the church to warn organisers against hosting the interfaith event and urged the church to inform police who the individuals are.
“And there was no report lodged. I’m afraid that someone is just making up stories saying that there is a police report lodged, went up to the church, told them something, and the church cancelled it,” he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur today.
The church had cancelled the event to avoid trouble, but urged those planning to attend to collect their food packs and prayer mats which the church had prepared.
Despite the cancellation, however, the event still took place albeit with a smaller crowd.
