Don't manipulate police reserve land issue - Bukit Aman

All parties have been urged not to manipulate the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) reserve land ownership issue in Kamunting, Perak, which will only confuse the public.

PDRM Secretary Noorsiah Saaduddin said police have completed an investigation into the reserve land ownership case, which involves police quarters and the Taiping district police headquarters (IPD), police chief house.

She said the investigation outcome found no fraud regarding the status of the reserve land, which belongs to a church and the case was classified as no further action (NFA).

“An investigation into the status of the land shows that the land in lot 784 has been owned by The Titular Roman Catholic Bishop of Malacca since 1883.

“The police report lodged by IPD Taiping was previously aimed to identify the status of land ownership," she said in a statement today.

On Thursday, Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail told the Dewan Rakyat that the Perak prosecution director decided that the case was classified as NFA following a Taiping IPD police report regarding the land transfer made without knowledge.

On April 30, a local news portal quoted a source reporting that a piece of PDRM reserve land in Kamunting was transferred to a church organisation in Malacca without anyone’s knowledge.

According to the report, the change in ownership of land owned by PDRM was revealed after the police received a letter from a lawyer's firm representing the church on April 14, which claimed ownership of 0.55 hectares of land in Kamunting.

IPD Taiping then lodged a police report on April 20 to investigate the land’s ownership status.
