"I will not reveal the new leads as investigations are underway. However following intelligence gathering, the suspects have been identified,” he told a press conference after officiating the new Sentul District Police Headquarters today.
Mazlan said so far only one investigation paper had been opened and several reports had been lodged in connection with the case.
Recently, the portraits of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, which were among the portraits featured on a wall at Taman Cahaya Alam, Section U12 Shah Alam, Selangor, were defaced with red paint and derogatory words.
A restaurant worker who happened to be in the area noticed the acts of vandalism.
The mural, painted as a show of appreciation to the country leaders, was the work of three young artists, Muhamad Firdaus Nordin, 26, Muhammad Suhaimi Ali and Abdul Hadi Ramli, both 27.
