Video clip taken at a PJ police station
PETALING JAYA: The uniformed woman captured on a cellular phone video ordering a naked female Chinese national to do ear squats has been identified as a police constable from the district headquarters here.
It has also been confirmed that the incident occurred at the headquarters.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Musa Hassan said police had recorded the constable’s statement and he had directed a no cover-up investigation into the incident.
“There will not be any cover-up, and anyone involved in any illegal activity, like recording or even using a phone in a restricted area, will be brought to book. We will not hesitate to dismiss them.
“The Prime Minister himself personally contacted me to ensure a thorough investigation is carried out, and that those involved are taken to task,” he said when contacted yesterday.

He said police needed to find out who took the video clip, as there were a number of people, including civilians, at the place at the time of the incident.
Musa also clarified that all detainees were required to strip and be searched before being sent to the lock-up.
This is to ensure that they do not have any prohibited items, like sharp objects or drugs.
“It is a requirement that all detainees are thoroughly checked by police personnel of their gender, and checks must be done in a closed-up area,” he said, adding that police could ask detainees to do squats.
Earlier, Musa attended the celebration of 100 years of police investigations involving fingerprints at the Police Museum in Jalan Perdana here.
Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Yahaya Udin said police did not rule out the possibility of their personnel being involved in the case, adding that lock-ups were restricted areas.
He said this to reporters at the graduation ceremony for the 1/2004 batch of cadet Asst Supt of Police (ASPs) and Probationary Inspectors (PIs) at the Police Training Centre (Pulapol) here.
The 49 ASPs and 484 PIs, who were trained at the Police College here and Pulapol respectively, will be posted to police stations nationwide next month.
