TANAH MERAH: The investigation into a human trafficking case in Myanmar allegedly involving a former deputy minister and her husband will be carried out in an orderly and meticulous manner, says the Home Minister.
Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the police would summon several more people to complete the ongoing investigation.
“Based on the information I received from the police, an investigation paper has been opened and the individuals involved have been identified. Some have been summoned, and a few others will also be called up.
“The investigation will be carried out in an orderly and meticulous manner.
“The police will look at various aspects including tracking down the author of the article,” he said after launching the Tanah Merah Baitul Mahabbah here yesterday, which was also attended by Immigration director-general Datuk Ruslin Jusoh.
Saifuddin Nasution also expressed hope that all involved parties can cooperate with the police investigation, Bernama reported.
Yesterday, the Malaysia International Humanitarian Organisation (MHO) handed over several documents to the police to assist in their investigation into a human trafficking case in Myanmar which has been linked to former deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Mashitah Ibrahim and her husband.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the police were tracking down several writers from neighbouring Indonesia as well as a “Datuk Seri” allegedly involved in the criminal activity, to have their statements taken.
