KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Aman will investigate Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for a “fatwa” he made at a recent ceramah.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain confirmed the matter.
It is known that an investigation paper has been opened on the matter and that the case is being investigated under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act.
It is also known that the former Prime Minister will be called in for a statement soon.
On Sept 2, during a Perikatan ceramah at Taman Kempas, Muhyiddin quipped that it was “haram” or sinful to vote for Suhaizan in the Pulai by-election.
“Do not give even one vote to Suhaizan, the ex-(Johor) speaker. I deem it as haram. Tomorrow someone will challenge me which fatwa this was based on,” said Muhyiddin.
