IPOH: An investigation by the Perak branch of the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department found that there was no criminal element in the fire incident at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) office of the Perak Police Contingent Headquarters here last month.
Perak Fire and Rescue Department director Sayani Saidon expects their investigation to be wrapped up in two weeks before handing the matter over to the police.
"The investigation, carried out by the Perak Fire Investigation Division, found no foreign elements.
"We also did not detect any criminal behaviour as we looked at it from the wiring aspect of an old building," he said.
He told the media this after the 'Bubur Asyura' programme organised by the Fire and Rescue Department Sports, Welfare and Cultural Association (Perskeb), Persatuan Suri dan Anggota Wanita Bomba (Perisma) and Staff Sports and Welfare Club (KSKK) at the Perak JBPM Headquarters here on Thursday (July 27).
He said the CID building was an old quarters that was turned into an office and storage place for various documents.
On June 27, several documents related to D4 Division (Intelligence/Operations/Criminal Records) of the CID were destroyed in the fire which broke out on the second floor of the building. - Bernama
