In a statement, Zakaria emphasized that the department would conduct a thorough review by examining CCTV footage, related records, and statements from the officers involved. The department's commitment to transparency and fairness was reiterated, as JIM respects the right of individuals to voice their experiences or lodge complaints, but stresses the importance of accurate and comprehensive information to evaluate matters fairly and avoid misunderstandings.
