MELAKA: Police will summon the individual who circulated a video alleging a policeman blocked an ambulance to allow passage for a convoy of foreign investors.
Melaka police chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said an investigation paper will be opened under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
“We welcome information from the public if it concerns police misconduct, but we reject any attempts to slander the police,” he said.
He stated he would personally look into the matter and ensure those who intentionally defame the police are held accountable.
Dzulkhairi earlier clarified that traffic personnel did not obstruct an ambulance as claimed.
He said the siren heard in the recording was from a police escort for a delegation of investors from China.
