Lawyers for Na'imah deny police claim family was not contactable for probe


KUALA LUMPUR: Lawyers for Toh Puan Na'imah Abdul Khalid have denied police claims that she and her two sons were uncontactable during an investigation of activities deemed harmful to parliamentary democracy.

The team said in a statement that Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Comm Datuk M. Kumar's comment that police were unable to reach their clients was inaccurate.

"We refer to the statement by Comm Kumar regarding investigation papers referred to the Attorney General’s Chambers under Section 124B of the Penal Code.

"Legal counsel responded in writing on the same day the police notice was received.

"Our clients remain fully contactable and cooperative through their lawyers," read the statement, issued on Wednesday (June 3).
