NAJIB Razak will be questioned by police after a report was lodged against the former prime minister by an aide to Perak DAP chief, Nga Kor Ming, over an alleged fake online posting.

Speaking to The Malaysian Insight, Bukit Aman CID D5 (Prosecution and Legal Division) principal assistant director Mior Faridalatrash Wahid said the the ex-Umno president and Pekan MP will be called up soon.

“We will record his statement following a police report made against him, but the date is still not confirmed,” he said when contacted.

It was reported last week that Nga’s private secretary Tan Tiong Yih lodged a report at the Ipoh district police headquarters over allegations made by Najib in his Facebook post.

Meanwhile, Nga in a statement earlier today urged the police to investigate Najib’s Facebook pages for spreading fake news.

The Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker was summoned to Bukit Aman at noon to have his statement recorded after police reports were lodged against him.

It was alleged that Nga through a Facebook page insulted Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

Speaking to reporters, the Teluk Intan MP said he had given his statement to the police in Bukit Aman to assist in their investigation.

Nga was questioned for two hours before being released. – October 8, 2019.
