Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said the investigation into the duo was ongoing.

“We will likely submit the IPs to the AGC by Thursday for further action,” he told reporters after attending the closing ceremony of Op Selamat 23 here today.

A total of 16 reports were lodged against Harith and Yap, who are accused of insulting Islam and the Prophet Muhammad through their remarks on social media.

Their comments followed the controversy surrounding the sale of ham sandwiches allegedly lacking halal certification at a convenience store at Universiti Malaya.

Yap left her remark on a Facebook post by Harith, who is being probed for joking that his faith was shaken after seeing a menu advertising “Ham Sap Coffee” since it contained the word “ham”.

She apologised on Jan 27 for making insensitive remarks.

Separately, Razarudin said Thai police had not given any information or submitted any official requests regarding two Thai nationals believed to be linked to a murder case.

He said the two men linked to the murder of a Thai police officer and his son were not likely to have entered Malaysia.

“Despite this, we will continue to enhance our border security measures and closely monitor illegal crossings and smuggling activities,” he said.

The Jan 14 incident involved Abdullah Samok, 30, and Abdullah Bulat, 40, who had 14 arrest warrants for various security offences.

Razarudin previously said police were on high alert following the possibility that the suspects might have entered Malaysia after the murder.

The victims, Suwit Chuaythewarit, 56, and his son, Dome Chuaythewarit, 35, died in an ambush in Narathiwat, Thailand.
