The dissemination of the CCTV recording is seen as interfering in police investigation into the case.

Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar , when contacted by Bernama on the matter and the action to be taken against those who spread the recording, replied succinctly: “We will study.”

Selangor police chief Abdul Samah Mat, when posed the same question, said police would investigate the matter before taking further action.

“This matter (dissemination of the CCTV recording) to some extent disturbs the task of the police,” he said when contacted by Bernama.

The clip, lasting 2.33 seconds, which was aired by a foreign broadcasting company, went viral on social sites last night.

Last Sunday, Jong Nam was reported to be at klia2 to board a flight to Macau when suddenly a woman covered his face with a piece of cloth, believed to have been laced with liquid poison.

Jong Nam, whose name was stated as Kim Chol on his passport, died while being rushed to the Putrajaya Hospital.
