The police are checking all vehicles exiting the Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) headquarters in Cyberjaya.

This follows an instruction from Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to ensure no documents are taken out from ministries and agencies.

Malaysiakini saw a number of police personnel stationed at the entrance of the MCMC building inspecting the vehicles.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, an MCMC staff said the move could be an attempt to prevent staff from disposing of documents related to the previous administration.

The staff, however, denied the building was raided since no police personnel had entered the premises in search of documents.

While the officer denied the cops had entered the MCMC building, some said they noticed police personnel on the upper floors. 

Earlier today, PKR communication director Fahmi Fahzil said he was made to understand documents of Communications and Multimedia Ministry were being or have been destroyed.

"If true, I urge the officers not to destroy the documents as this is against the laws and a betrayal to the voice of the rakyat," he added.

Former Communication and Multimedia Minister Salleh Said Keruak was a close associate of former premier Najib Abdul Razak.
