Bandar Tun Razak Umno chief Rizalman Mokhtar wants the attacks against him on social media to cease after he was cleared of consuming drugs.

"I request that all quarters stop circulating attacks and slander against me through social media.

"I hope this statement can clear my name, my family and Umno/BN," he said in a statement today.

On Monday, Rizalman was arrested at a Kuala Lumpur nightclub after initially testing positive for drugs.

Rizalman was mocked on social media after claiming that he only drank coffee at the nightclub.

His urine sample was later sent to a laboratory for verification, which showed he tested negative for drugs.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Mazlan Lazim today confirmed that a lab report on Rizalman testing negative for drugs, which had been circulating on social media, was authentic.

Rizalman had previously claimed he was set up, questioning why the MACC had joined police in the drug raid.

Police had also said the operation was initiated by MACC.

In his statement today, Rizalman said he was grateful for the latest results, and thanked the police and the MACC.

"My focus now is to continue with my political service and also help BN in Bandar Tun Razak to face the 14th general election," he said.

Police said no further action will be taken against Rizalman in light of the latest test results.
