Negeri Sembilan police chief Mohammad Mat Yusop said they had sent their original investigation papers to the public prosecutor earlier, but they were returned for further investigation.

“Some action needs to be taken and we expect a decision to be made soon,” he said at a police event here today.

Police began their investigation after photos and a video clip of the couple shopping at a carpet shop went viral on social media recently.

The couple was called to the Nilai police station last Tuesday to give their statement.

At the event, police personnel Mat Shah Kasim, 57, was conferred the rank of sergeant for his bravery in saving a senior citizen and her son, who is a person with disabilities, in a fire at Kampung Seberang Batu Hampar, Rembau, on March 4.

Mat Shah was on his way home from work when he saw the fire and helped a woman running back into the burning house to save her son.
