KUALA LUMPUR: No investigation has been opened at this point linked to a report lodged by Tanah Merah MP Datuk Seri Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz over a photo that allegedly showed him vaping in Parliament.
“From our classification, we have decided there is no investigation because there are no criminal elements involved,” said Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Allaudeen Abdul Majid.
He added at a press conference at the Sentul police headquarters on Saturday (Sept 23) that the report has been studied.
The MP’s special officer had previously lodged a police report against Prime Minister’s photographer Sadiq Asyraf for circulating an image of the politician allegedly vaping in the Dewan Rakyat.
The report was against a photo taken by the photographer which was uploaded on his X (formerly Twitter) account with the caption “Betul-betul koyak terus tarik vape sambil keluar dewan” or “unacceptable, immediately starts vaping while coming out of the Dewan Rakyat”.
The photo was posted on Sept 21.
Ikmal had previously denied he was vaping inside the Dewan Rakyat, instead claiming that the cylindrical object was a pen and not a vape.
