Kuantan MP Fuziah gives statement to cops over FB video on Immigration complex

KUANTAN: Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh (pic) has given her statement to the authorities over a video that was posted on her Facebook account.

Fuziah, a former deputy minister, said the authorities were now carrying out further investigation and she had given her commitment to cooperation.

"At the same time, I urge the press to stop blowing up this issue until the investigation is completed," she said in a statement on Saturday (April 11).

It was reported that a video of an allegedly out of control situation at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex in Johor Baru had been shared on Fuziah's official Facebook page.

The post had since been removed with Fuziah's page administrator apologising for putting up an old video.

The police had earlier in the week said they would investigate a Facebook page to find out who was responsible for posting an old video of a fire drill at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) and claiming that it was of people storming the CIQ Complex during the ongoing movement control order (MCO).

Johor police chief Comm Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay had reportedly said they would need to ascertain the facts before calling up the MP to record a statement.

He confirmed that the video was actually of a fire drill conducted at BSI last year and the individual who posted the video should have checked its authenticity first.

Fuziah also said in her statement that the welfare of the Kuantan people was close to her heart and she would continue to work hard so that appropriate attention would be given to all Malaysians.
