KUALA LUMPUR: Police have confirmed receiving a report regarding an article published by an online news portal today claiming there will be a transfer of senior Bukit Aman officials.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said in a statement that an officer from Bukit Aman lodged the police report this afternoon.
“This case is being investigated under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998,” he said.
He advised the public not to speculate, adding that the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) would take strict action against anyone spreading unverified statements on social media.

PDRM denied issuing an official statement regarding the change in its top leadership.
