PUTRAJAYA: Attorney General Tommy Thomas today lodged a police report against allegations that he is anti-Islam.
Putrajaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Rosly Hassan confirmed that a report was made on behalf of Thomas.
The report was over allegations circulating on social media that he was anti-Islam.
Rosly said the attorney-general’s special officers Siti Rahayu Mumazaini and Amir Nasarudin had come to the police headquarters in the afternoon today to make an official report.
“It is confirmed a report was lodged today by two officers on the matter. However the Attorney-general was not present.
“The case will be investigated by Bukit Aman,” he said in a brief text message.
Meanwhile Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim when contacted said the case would be investigated by Bukit Aman Classified Crime Investigation Unit (USJT).
Earlier, a grey Proton Perdana was seen entering the police station at 3.15pm and left at 4.45 pm.
An online portal reported that Thomas had confirmed lodging the report, adding that he wanted the police to investigate the matter.
“There has been a vicious message circulating on social media claiming that I am anti-Islam.
“This is a total lie. It is for this reason, the police report was lodged for the matter to be investigated,” he told the online news portal earlier.
Recently various quarters including Umno and Pas said that the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) had not been firm with those accused of insulting Islam.
