The owner of Twitter account @edisi_siasatmy has been asked to lodge a report and come forward with evidence on abuse of power, malpractice, and corruption allegedly involving ministers, former ministers, and senior officials.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said the account owner needs to prove the allegations and not just make claims on social media.
He added that so far, 13 investigation papers had been opened involving the Twitter account, and almost all individuals, including senior police officers who were allegedly involved in misconduct, had given their statements.
"The investigation papers were opened after a senior police officer who was alleged to have been involved lodged a report. The police have recorded statements from almost all individuals to assist the investigation.
“After finishing recording the statements, we will see how true those allegations are,” he said.
He was speaking during a handover ceremony of two armoured vehicles to the Federal Reserve Unit at the FRU Base in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur today.
Recent allegations by the Edisi Siasat Twitter account regarding misconduct by senior police officers and top management of MACC purportedly protecting criminal syndicates had gone viral on social media.
Acryl Sani said the allegations involving the Royal Malaysia Police had been handed over to the Bukit Aman Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (Jips) for verification.
Meanwhile, he said the two armoured vehicles costing RM2 million were assigned to Unit 1 and 5 of the Kuala Lumpur FRU.
At present, FRU has 29 command vehicles, Acryl Sani said, adding that the replacement process of the vehicles would be carried out periodically.
