Earlier, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, in a statement, said the appointment for recording the statement of the Penang PAS Dewan Muslimat (women’s wing) deputy chief was rescheduled to 11am Tuesday (Nov 14) at Bukit Aman.

As of Monday, police have received six reports regarding the case, he said, adding that it is currently being investigated under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

Siti Mastura allegedly made her claims, which also involve veteran DAP leader Lim Kit Siang and other party leaders in a 46-minute, 51-second video of a recent political talk in Kemaman, Terengganu.

On Friday (Nov 10), Guan Eng said he had initiated legal action against Siti Mastura after the 48-hour deadline given to the PAS lawmaker to substantiate her claims lapsed the day before. - Bernama
