KUANTAN: The investigation papers (IP) on two PAS politicians over statements they allegedly made before the Pelangai state by-election in Bentong near here recently have been submitted to the Deputy Public Prosecutor's (DPP) office, says Comm Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman.

The Pahang police chief said the IPs on Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor and Jengka assemblyman Shahril Azman Abd Halim were submitted to the DPP’s office last month.

He told a press conference at the Pahang Police Contingent Headquarters (IPK) here Tuesday (Nov 7) that the police had recorded the statements of five individuals in the investigation against Muhammad Sanusi, including from the Mentri Besar himself.

Muhammad Sanusi's statement was recorded on Oct 7 at the Manchis police station in Bentong, he added.

He said the investigation against Muhammad Sanusi was carried out under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and Section 4A(1) of the Election Offenses Act 1954.

The investigation against Muhammad Sanusi was over his statement at a ceramah (political talk) on Sept 22, which was a day before the nomination for the Pelangai state by-election, he added.

He said the investigation against Shahril Azman was also made in accordance with Section 4 (1) of the Sedition Act 1948 and Section 233 AKMM as well as Section 505(b) of the Penal Code.

Shahril Azman was alleged to have played up race, religion and royalty (3R) issues in Felda Sungai Kemahal and a video of it was uploaded on his TikTok account. - Bernama
