Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM), which took exception to the investigation, also stood by its earlier claim that police had ignored the various reports lodged against the company in Kajang.
Insisting that the group was not a trespasser, PPIM special action unit director Yusuf Azmi said 25 lawyers were present during the raid at the company’s premises last Monday.
“I am disappointed and saddened by the statement of the inspector-general of police today. We are not the enemies of the cops,” he told FMT.
Earlier today, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said police were investigating the NGO which had raided the warehouse along with 30 others and “seized” 56 vehicles kept there.
Police subsequently opened two investigation papers relating to the incident, for causing mischief and criminal trespass.
Khalid today rubbished claims that they had ignored the police reports lodged against the company, adding that they had to adhere to existing laws when it came to investigating a case.
“We have laws in our country, which require us to go through certain processes, such as taking and collecting statements and concluding the investigation papers before submitting them to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for them to decide on the next course of action,” Khalid was quoted as saying.
But PPIM found Khalid’s explanation wanting and threatened to report the matter to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) if the men in blue did not take action against the company.
“We will lodge a report with MACC, along with the victims.”
According to theSundaily news portal, the purported fraud came to light when several PPIM activists and victims demanded the release of vehicles kept at the company’s warehouse.
The group allegedly barged into the storehouse without producing any court documents.
