Police to record statements from former exco members amid Negeri Sembilan royal turmoil

The police in Butterworth will begin summoning former Negeri Sembilan state executive council members to gather statements in connection with the administrative and royal institution crisis in the state, following several lodged police reports.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail indicated that statements will also be taken from witnesses and other relevant individuals to aid the ongoing investigation.

The investigation is being conducted with the aim of ensuring public safety and will be submitted for further review to the Attorney General's Chambers.

Although the security situation in Negeri Sembilan remains stable, the police are considering legal provisions, including the Sedition Act, as part of their comprehensive review.

BUTTERWORTH, Sept 27 — The police will summon former Negeri Sembilan state executive council (Exco) members starting tomorrow and the day after to record their statements, to assist the investigation into the administrative and royal institution crisis in the state following several police reports lodged regarding the matter.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said in addition to the Exco members, the police would also take statements from several witnesses and other relevant individuals to complete the investigation.

“Indeed, numerous police reports have been lodged by certain parties (regarding the matter), so we will take action to conduct an investigation and subsequently record statements from relevant individuals, including former Exco members and those involved.

“Thus far, the police have summoned several individuals to have their statements recorded, including one or two individuals who may serve as witnesses in the case,” he said when met by reporters here today.

He said after officiating the launch of the Penang Police Contingent’s ‘Whitening the Blackspot’ project at Picca@Arena Butterworth Convention Centre here which was also attended by Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department director Datuk Noor Hisam Nordin and Penang police chief Datuk Dennis Lim Kwang Keng.

Mohd Khalid made these remarks when asked to comment on the police investigation into the administrative and royal institution crisis in Negeri Sembilan from various angles, following several police reports lodged regarding the issue.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail was reported as saying that the police are focusing on preventing any acts of violence and ensuring public safety and order are maintained.

Elaborating further, Mohd Khalid said his team is also finalising the investigation papers, which will subsequently be submitted to the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) for further action.

When asked about the legal provisions being applied in the investigation, he said the police are still comprehensively reviewing all reports received and do not rule out the possibility of cases involving the Sedition Act or other legal provisions.

“The police conduct the investigation while the party that decides whether to prosecute or otherwise is the Attorney General. Perhaps in some (cases) there may be links to the Sedition Act, or perhaps in.... other violations, and this requires scrutiny by all parties, especially the Attorney General’s Chambers,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mohd Khalid stated that the security and public order situation in Negeri Sembilan is currently stable and under control and the community appears to understand the current developments and is extending good cooperation to the authorities.

“Alhamdulillah, everything is fine and under control, it seems the community understands the situation and is providing excellent cooperation. We are striving to maintain this state of affairs for the safety of the community and the people of Negeri Sembilan,” he said. — Bernama

在接到多起报案后，北海警方将开始传唤森美兰州前行政委员会成员，以收集与该州行政和王室机构危机相关的证词。

警察总长丹斯里莫哈末·哈立德·伊斯梅尔表示，警方还将向证人和其他相关人员询问情况，以协助正在进行的调查。

此次调查旨在确保公共安全，调查结果将提交总检察署进一步审查。

尽管森美兰州的安全形势依然稳定，但警方正在考虑将包括煽动法令在内的法律条款纳入全面审查范围。

北海，9月27日讯——警方将从明天和后天开始传唤森美兰州前行政议员，录口供，以协助调查该州行政和王室机构危机。此前，警方已接到多起与此相关的报案。

警察总长丹斯里莫哈末·哈立德·伊斯梅尔表示，除了行政议员外，警方还将向几名证人和其他相关人士询问情况，以完成调查。

“事实上，某些方面已经向警方提交了许多报告（关于此事），因此我们将采取行动进行调查，并随后记录相关人员的证词，包括前执行委员会成员和涉案人员。

“到目前为止，警方已经传唤了几个人录口供，其中包括一两个可能成为此案证人的人，”他今天在这里接受记者采访时说。

他在槟城北海会展中心Picca@Arena主持槟城警察部队“清除黑点”项目的启动仪式后表示，武吉阿曼警察总部预防犯罪和社区安全部主任拿督诺希山·诺​​丁和槟城警察总长拿督林光景也出席了启动仪式。

在接到多起关于森美兰州行政和王室机构危机的警方调查报告后，莫哈末·哈立德被要求从各个角度发表评论。

据报道，内政部长拿督斯里赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安·伊斯梅尔表示，警方正集中精力防止任何暴力行为，并确保公共安全和秩序得到维护。

莫哈末·哈立德进一步解释说，他的团队也正在完善调查文件，随后将提交给总检察署（AGC）以采取进一步行动。

当被问及调查中适用的法律条款时，他表示警方仍在全面审查收到的所有报告，不排除涉及煽动法令或其他法律条款的可能性。

他说：“警方负责调查，而决定是否起诉的则是总检察长。或许有些案件可能与煽动叛乱法有关，或者涉及其他违法行为，这就需要各方，特别是总检察长办公室的审查。”

与此同时，莫哈末·哈立德表示，森美兰州的安全和公共秩序目前稳定可控，民众似乎理解当前事态发展，并向当局提供了良好的合作。

“感谢真主，一切安好，都在掌控之中。社区似乎理解目前的状况，并给予了极大的配合。为了社区和森美兰州人民的安全，我们正努力维持这种状态。”他说道。——马新社
