However, Inspector-General of Police, Khalid Abu Bakar refused to divulge further details.
"Investigations are still ongoing. We have already called him (Zahid) to give his statement," Khalid (left) said at a brief press conference at Bukit Aman today.Perak DAP had lodged a report against Zahid, claiming he had made seditious remarks in his speech at a ceramah in connection with the recent Pengkalan Kubor by-election.
The statement was on a demonstration held in Kuala Kangsar during the Perak constitutional crisis imbroglio in 2009.
The home minister is reported to have said that DAP members threw rocks at the then Perak Raja Muda and also on his car at the height of the political crisis.
Meanwhile, Zahid said he had not only given a statement to the police two days ago, but also handed over evidence related to his speech.
Zahid: I have given police audio recording
“Yes, and I have not only give the police the audio (recording), but also the visuals and transcript of my speech,” he said when met at the Parliament lobby.
In a jovial tone, the home minister told reporters that he has full confidence in the police to investigate him.
“I leave it to the police to conduct investigation on the minister with jurisdiction over the police,” he said.
On another matter, Khalid said some 10,000 taxi drivers registered with the MyTeksi smartphone app are about to become the eyes and ears of the police through a collaborative effort.
The drivers would also become an intermediary between the police and the society at large in fighting street crimes, he said.
“Taxi drivers are everywhere, even in places where there are no police,” Khalid said.
He said the taxi drivers with MyTeksi will be given training by the police in stages.
The MyTeksi app was launched two years ago to help users call a cab, and now has also been updated with an emergency button that connects them to a nearby police headquarters if they witness any crime or accident.
