Let police and MCMC probe comedian's remarks, says DPM


KUALA LUMPUR: The police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission will conduct any investigation deemed fit into a Singaporean comedian's disparaging remarks about Malaysia, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

"We will leave it to the MCMC and the police to investigate before handing the matter over to the Attorney General's Chamber for the next step," he told reporters briefly at the Umno general assembly's media centre at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur on Thursday (June 8).
