Lawyers representing two police officers who were allegedly assaulted by MCBA director-general Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain have threatened civil action against individuals spreading what they describe as false allegations about their clients. Kamal Hisham Jaafar and Muhammad Nor Tamrin have lodged supplementary police reports with new information they consider material to the investigation, alleging potential offenses under various Penal Code sections.
The lawyers reject claims that the officers' legal fees are being paid by a criminal syndicate, while acknowledging freedom of speech under the Federal Constitution. They warn that civil suits could be pursued against those responsible for the false statements, as allegedly false statements could be investigated under Section 505 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
