The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) have received seven police reports throughout the country regarding former attorney-general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas’ book titled My Story: Justice in the Wilderness that allegedly slandered many parties.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said the police will take every party’s statement involved and have opened two investigation papers regarding the case which will be submitted to the Attorney General’s Chambers for further investigation.
“So, the matter will be handed to the investigating officer to take all the necessary actions needed,” he told reporters after inspecting a roadblock at Sungai Besi toll plaza today.
He said Thomas would be called by the police to give his statement soon.
Yesterday, Thomas’ predecessor, former attorney-general Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali was among those who lodged police reports regarding the contents of Thomas’ book that allegedly contained slanderous materials against him.
Apandi said the report was made at the Sentul district police headquarters, in the presence of his attorney Datuk Baljit Singh Sidhu.
