GRIK: The investigation into reports lodged against DAP chairman Karpal Singh
for allegedly questioning the powers of the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah,
is in the final stages of completion and would be ready in two or three days.
"Once the investigations are completed, the papers would be
submitted to the attorney-general for further action," Inspector-General of
Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said yesterday.
"Police had also called in journalists who conducted the interview and published
the news to assist in the investigation."
He was speaking after the launch of the Pulau Banding police beat base near
here.
Present were Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Ismail Omar, Perak police
chief Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah and Perak marine police chief SAC II Isa Munir.
Musa was commenting on the statement by Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who called for the investigation to be speeded up.
"I cannot comment on the case as the individuals involved should know the powers
of the Sultan," Musa said.
"As for the police, I was directed to carry out the investigation and we are
doing our best."
Karpal had allegedly questioned the powers of the Sultan in ordering the
reinstatement of Datuk Jamry Sury as head of the Perak Religious Department.
Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin had ordered Jamry to be
transferred on April 29, on the grounds that he had been unco-operative with the
Pakatan Rakyat government.
However, three days later, the Sultan of Perak, through Raja Muda Perak Raja Dr
Nazrin Shah, directed Mohammad Nizar to rescind the transfer order and reinstate
Jamry.
So far, 20 police reports had been lodged against Karpal, who is the MP for
Bukit Gelugor.
Earlier, Musa said the Pulau Banding police beat base manned by nine policemen,
headed by Sergeant Nadzri Abu, would patrol the lake and rivers in the area.
"The areas surrounding Pulau Banding is a tourist attraction and the resources
need to be protected."
