KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — The police have issued a notice to the former boyfriend of Bukit Lanjan state assemblywoman, Elizabeth Wong, to assist in the probe on the dissemination of Wong’s nude photographs in the Internet.
Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Wira Muhammad Sabtu Osman said the Section 111 Criminal Procedure Code notice was served through the father of the former boyfriend, known only as Helmi.
“Last week, the police took a statement from Helmi’s father at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters and we also served the notice through his father.
“We want Helmi to come forward and give a statement to the police to help solve the case,” he told reporters after officiating the closing of Kuala Lumpur Police Volunteer Corps Disaster and Crisis Management Course today.
He, however, refused to elaborate on the duration given to Helmi to give his statement to the police.
“The duration will depend on the police. I cannot reveal full information on the case as it would disrupt the investigation.
“The police also believe that Helmi is still in Indonesia,” he said.
When asked why the police did not issue a warrant of arrest against Helmi or seek the Interpol’s help to locate the man, Muhammad Sabtu said that the man was only called to facilitate investigations.
“He is not wanted. We only want him to give a statement,” he explained.
So far, 20 people including reporters have been called to give statements in connection with the case. — Bernama
