POLICE are still investigating the sex video scandal that has implicated a federal minister, said Home Minister Muhiyiddin Yassin, adding that a task force set up last month was looking into the matter.

“The task force is investigating it, and we are not going to disturb its work.

“When it has concluded its investigation, it will inform Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador and me. We will then brief Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad,” he said after attending the Hari Raya open house at the police training centre in Kuala Lumpur today.

Muhiyiddin added the task force had not been given a specific time frame to complete its investigation.

“We won’t put a specific time limit and let them do their job.”

Former Santubong PKR Youth chief Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz confessed to being in a video showing him having sex with a man he claimed was Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali. 

Azmin has denied this and called the claims a plot to destroy his career.

Haziq has since been sacked from PKR, including his post as a special officer to a deputy minister.

He also lodged a police report, as well as a qazaf (slander) report with the Islamic authorities.

The sex video first emerged on June 11. Three more installments were disseminated to journalists via WhatsApp groups. – July 7, 2019.
