"We are working on completing the investigation and we expect to refer it to the A-GC within the next two days for their views and suggestions," he said when contacted.

Kok, the Seputeh member of Parliament is being probed for her comments on a proposal to require all eateries that do not serve pork or alcohol to be halal certified.
