SEPANG:
Home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail is leaving it to the authorities to thoroughly investigate the criminal intimidation case allegedly involving his son.

He stressed that all Malaysians, including his son, are not above the law.

“If any report is made against him, it is the police’s responsibility to investigate it thoroughly and fairly.

“I refer to a statement by Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain, who said the investigation paper has been completed and submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

“Let the due process take its course. The basic principle I uphold is that no one is above the law, including my son,” he told reporters after observing the MyBorderPass QR Code Gate and Smart Q System with the media at Terminal 1, Kuala Lumpur International Airport today.

On Thursday, Razarudin was reported to have said that police had completed its investigation into a criminal intimidation case involving the son of a minister, which had gone viral on social media.

The investigation paper was handed over to the deputy public prosecutor on Monday for further action.
