INSPECTOR-GENERAL of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun today confirmed police are investigating the Sabah district police chief who has been accused of sexually harassing his men as well as civilians.
Fuzi said several reports were lodged against the senior officer, who was still in office.
“Yes, there is some truth to the report. We are seriously looking into it.
“There have been several reports against him. He did not just harass his men but also staff in the police station as well as civilians,” Fuzi said.
He promised “stern action” if the officer is found guilty.
According to Malaysiakini, the senior police officer in Sabah was in the process of being transferred following allegations that he sexually harassed six of his men and a member of the People’s Volunteer Corps (Rela).
The online portal reported that the officer, who is married with children, frequently sent lewd text messages to his victims and invited them to a hotel room on the pretext of holding a discussion.
“One of the victims was asked to go to a hotel for a discussion. The police chief then asked him to continue the discussion in the hotel room.
“The victim did not suspect anything was amiss. But in the room, the police chief tried to kiss his cheek and touch his private parts but the victim declined and left the hotel,” said the report.
A source said the officer had also inserted his hand into the victims’ pants.
“If the victims resisted, he would give them the cold treatment and exclude them from activities at the district police headquarters,” he added.
A crime reporter told The Malaysian Insight today that the officer had made a pass at him about two weeks ago. – August 20, 2018.
