Rela denies awarding honorary rank to ‘Datuk Seri’ in alleged assault case

PUTRAJAYA: The People's Volunteer Corps (Rela) denied that it would be awarding  an honorary rank to businessman Datuk Seri Liow Soon Hee, who allegedly assaulted three Rela members in October last year.

In a statement on Wednesday, Rela said it viewed the claims by Liow that he would be awarded the honorary rank by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, seriously.
