Bukit Aman criminal investigation department (CID) director Shuhaily Zain said his department was still investigating the matter, Utusan Malaysia reported.

He said the CID had summoned 66 witnesses, including one of the complainants who filed the report and members of the press, to assist in its probe.

He said police had received 70 reports nationwide regarding this case, which is being investigated under the Sedition Act 1948 and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

On Dec 30, Ngeh issued an apology after proposing that non-Muslim constitutional experts be included in a committee that is studying how to harmonise shariah law and the Federal Constitution.

In retracting the statement, the DAP lawmaker said he had no intention of meddling in Islamic religious affairs by making such a statement.
