Cops to record Khairy's statement on royal addendum remarks

The police will record former Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin’s statement today over his claim on the royal addendum regarding former prime minister Najib Razak’s house arrest.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said Khairy’s statement will be recorded by a team from the Bukit Aman Classified Crime Investigation Unit in Damansara, Selangor.

“The case is being investigated under Section 500 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998,” he told Bernama.

Last Friday, two police reports were lodged against Khairy by Suraya Yaacob, political secretary to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Azalina Othman Said and Nor Azrina Surip, political secretary to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

The reports were lodged separately in Putrajaya and Sentul.

In the reports, Suraya and Nor Azrina stated that Khairy’s remarks linking the two ministers were false, defamatory, and misleading, causing unease and panic among the public to the extent that it could threaten the country’s peace.

Suraya said that through an article in Malaysiakini, the former youth and sports minister had accused Azalina of conspiring to hide the royal addendum.
