THE police are expected to wrap up investigating the controversial Belt & Road Initiative for Win Winism comic book once they receive the fact-check findings from two local historians.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department Prosecution and Law Division (D5) principal assistant director Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said the police would be meeting with an expert from a local university tomorrow.

“He will provide us with his findings as well as give us his statement,” Mior Faridalathrash told Bernama today.

He, however, refused to divulge the name of either of the two experts the police had been using.

“Once we have the findings from the two experts, we will conclude our investigation and submit the investigation paper to the Attorney-General’s Chambers,” he said, adding that up to November 7, the police had received 67 nationwide reports regarding the comic book.

The Home Ministry has banned the book by issuing a prohibition gazette under Section 7(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 because its contents could be detrimental to public order and disturb the thoughts of the people.

Since then, the ministry has confiscated more than 2,000 copies of the comic, which is published in English, Malay and Chinese. – Bernama, November 11, 2019.
