Cops need more time to investigate Roger Ng, says IGP


KUALA LUMPUR: Former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng is still under police custody, as the investigation involving him is still ongoing, says Tan Sri Razarudin Husain.

The Inspector-General of Police said the police still needed more time.

"He is still under police custody.

"Our investigation is still ongoing and we need more time to collect credible evidence," he told a press conference after the launch of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) coffee table book on Tuesday (Dec 10).

The book, detailing the history of the police force, was launched by Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah.

"We need more information as there are many things that we have to analyse.

"It is not just one or two documents...there are many," he said.

It was reported that Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah had applied to the court on Monday (Dec 9) to interview Ng, who is under police custody.

He said interviewing Ng was a needed first step for Najib's defence, in his ongoing 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) trial.

Shafee added that he was also prepared to file a written request if needed.
