Jempol MP still under police probe over election remarks
Home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail says the probe papers were referred to the Negeri Sembilan prosecutor’s office but were returned with further instructions for the investigating officer.
Police investigations into Jempol MP Shamsulkahar Deli over his election campaign remarks are ongoing, with probe papers recently returned to the police for further review. Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail confirmed that the initial stage of the investigation has been completed and that the investigation paper was returned to the Negeri Sembilan prosecutor’s office on September 3 with additional instructions for the investigating officer.
The probe is centered on allegations that Shamsulkahar made statements intended to cause public fear or alarm, improperly used network services, and promoted ill will and hostility during the election campaign. The 55-year-old complainant reported seeing a video clip of Shamsulkahar’s speech during a campaign rally, where he allegedly linked the DAP party to an image deemed insulting to the Sultan of Selangor.
Several DAP leaders, including Jelutong MP RSN Rayer, have also lodged police reports against Shamsulkahar over these remarks, accusing him of making defamatory and malicious comments against the party.
