SHAH ALAM: The Selangor police contingent denied a claim that has gone viral on the Telegram application on a letter requesting for financial contributions to sponsor the recent 216th Police Day programme.

Selangor police chief Datuk Hussien Omar Khan denied the existence of such a letter which was shared by “Edisi Siasat” on the app in question issued by a department in the Selangor contingent, saying that funds of RM50,000 were needed and could be channelled to the account of a company.
