KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was at the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman here this morning to facilitate investigation into the audio clip that purportedly contains a conversation between him and Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Anwar was seen arriving at the headquarters complex at 10am and left at 11.20am.
To the waiting members of the press, the PKR president briefly said he was there to give his statement and cooperate with the police.
“I was called to Bukit Aman today as a witness in the audio clip that purportedly contains a conversation between me and Umno president.
“So I gave my cooperation to the police and they are investigating the case under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code,” he said.
Under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, investigation can be carried out into any individual who makes any statement, rumour or report with intent to cause fear or alarm to the public.
The four-minute, 17-second audio clip contains a conversation between two individuals whose voices resemble Ahmad Zahid’s and Anwar’s.
The individuals were discussing matters related to the Umno General Assembly last month. – BERNAMA
