Muhyiddin's 3R controversy: Probe done, over to AGC

KUALA LUMPUR: The police will refer the investigation into former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) today.

The probe centres on allegations that Muhyiddin raised sensitive issues related to race, religion, and royalty (3R).

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said they had taken statements from 66 individuals over the course of the investigations so far.

"I was informed that Muhyiddin answered all questions that were posed to him during the statement taking process earlier today.

"The investigation paper will be handed over to the AGC this evening for further action," he said when contacted today.

Muhyiddin, who is also PN chairman, is accused of questioning the sovereignty of Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

The allegations stem from Muhyiddin's claim that, following the 15th General Election, he secured the support of 115 members of Parliament, which he argues should have led to his appointment as the 10th Prime Minister.

Tengku Mahkota of Pahang Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah had also called on the police to take action against Muhyiddin for allegedly touching on 3R issues.

Earlier, Muhyiddin furnished several documents to the police, including statutory declarations from the MPs who supported him, as well as correspondence with Istana Negara.

He also furnished a total of 114 statutory declarations from members of the Dewan Rakyat who trusted him to be appointed as the prime minister.

These were submitted to Istana Negara on Nov 21 that year at 1.28pm, along with another statutory declaration submitted on Nov 22.

Also furnished to the police was the letter of acknowledgement from Colonel (Rtd) Datuk Nazim Mohd Alim, the senior private secretary to the then Agong, dated Nov 21, confirming that he received the documents.
