Bukit Aman CID director Shuhaily Zain said police had to postpone taking a statement from Abdul Hadi Awang yesterday because he was unwell. 

PETALING JAYA: Police will be taking a statement from Abdul Hadi Awang at 9am tomorrow over a speech the PAS president made while campaigning in Muar, Johor.

Bukit Aman CID director Shuhaily Zain said police had to postpone taking a statement from Hadi yesterday because he was unwell. Hadi was initially scheduled to be questioned at around 4.30pm.

“He requested for it to be postponed to tomorrow as he was not feeling well,” Shuhaily was quoted as saying by TV3 Bulletin.

He added that police were not informed about the meeting the Marang MP had with former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad soon after the police interview was postponed.

Hadi was photographed at a meeting with Mahathir at 5.30pm yesterday, accompanied by menteri besars Shukri Ramli (Perlis), Sanusi Nor (Kedah), Nassuruddin Daud (Kelantan), Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (Terengganu) and PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan.

On Monday, it was reported that Hadi was being investigated under the Sedition Act after he allegedly questioned the Pardons Board’s authority to pardon convicted criminals.

Meanwhile, Hadi’s political secretary Syahir Sulaiman has termed as “baseless” the accusations made against the PAS president by PKR deputy information chief Razeef Rakimin.

In a statement yesterday, the PKR leader questioned whether the excuse of ill health was given for Hadi to avoid being investigated.

Razeef said Hadi’s actions could be construed as trying to fool the authorities and urged the police not to be tricked by such tactics.

“As usual, these allegations from PKR are baseless and were not made based on facts. They are merely trying to create certain perceptions (about Hadi),” Syahir told FMT.

Syahir also reminded the public to refer to statements from Bukit Aman regarding the investigation.

 KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3, 2023: Is Polis di-Raja Malaysia (Royal Malaysian Police) that easily duped?

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain had yesterday confirmed that police decided to postpone taking a statement from Hadi after his aide requested a later date on grounds that Hadi was unwell. He was initially scheduled to be questioned at about 4.30pm.

Hadi was photographed at a meeting with Mahathir in the evening, accompanied by mentris besar Shukri Ramli (Perlis), Sanusi Nor (Kedah), Nassuruddin Daud (Kelantan), Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (Terengganu), and PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan.

For any other suspects or persons of interest or layman, do you think the police would entertain such requests?

Malaysians, you be the judge of our lawmen whether they give special treatment to so-called VIPs? Or are the cops “sympathetic” to the Taliban-like PAS and Perikatan Nasional (PN) led by Muhyiddin "I Am Malay First" Yassin?

Police had also announced so many probes on 3R (Race, Religion, Royalty) violations, especially on Kedah Mentri Besar Sanusi Md Nor, but have politicians been prosecuted? Only the layman have been taken to court.

PETALING JAYA: Was PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang unwell today, a PKR leader has asked, on news that Hadi had a meeting with former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad hours after a police interview with him was postponed because he was said to be unwell.

PKR deputy information chief Razeef Rakimin wondered if the excuse of ill health had been given in order for Hadi to avoid being investigated over a speech in which he had allegedly questioned the Pardons Board.

“Hadi’s actions can be construed as trying to fool the authorities. I hope the police would not be duped by such tactics,” he said in a statement.

Hadi was photographed at a meeting with Mahathir this evening, accompanied by menteris besar Shukri Ramli (Perlis), Sanusi Nor (Kedah), Nassuruddin Daud (Kelantan), Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (Terengganu), and PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan.

Earlier today, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain had confirmed that police decided to postpone taking a statement from Hadi after his aide requested a later date on grounds that Hadi was unwell. He was initially scheduled to be questioned at around 4.30pm.
