KUALA LUMPUR: An English news portal reporter has been questioned by police over an article alleging plans to develop a casino at Forest City in Johor.
Bloomberg reporter Ram Anand was seen walking out of Bukit Aman at around 11am on Monday (May 6), accompanied by a lawyer.
He declined to speak to members of the media who were waiting outside Bukit Aman.
It was earlier reported that Bukit Aman would be questioning a chief editor of an English news portal in connection with an article alleging plans to develop a casino at Forest City, Johor.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain was quoted as saying the chief editor would be called up by Bukit Aman CID's Special Investigation Unit (USJT) at 11am on Monday (May 6).
The USJT is expected to record the statement of Tan Sri Vincent Tan, who is Berjaya Corp Bhd founder, and Genting group chief executive officer Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay regarding the same matter soon, the IGP said.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Berjaya Corp and Genting Malaysia previously denied the Bloomberg report and urged action to be taken over the article.
The news portal had reported that Anwar met Tan and Lim to discuss a casino licence for Forest City, Johor.
