A dozen police reports has been lodged against the prime minister's special aide, Nasir Safar, for his alleged racist remarks, according to federal Criminal Investigations Department (CID) director Mohd Bakri Zinin.
Mohd Bakri (right) said the 12 reports were lodged in various locations throughout the country, which he assured would be probed in detail.
Asked if Nasir would be apprehended and hauled to court over the matter, Mohd Bakri said it would be premature to comment on pending investigations.
"Let us investigate first. We must gather all the facts and witnesses. Only then will we decide whether to detain him,” he said.
Mohd Bakri was speaking to reporters today after presenting badges to canine handlers at the Malaysian Police Training Centre's canine unit in Kuala Lumpur.
Yesterday, Nasir was alleged to have labelled Indian and Chinese Malaysians pendatang (immigrants) while speaking at the 'Rapat 1Malaysia' seminar in Malacca.

Nasir was also alleged to have threatened to revoke citizenship of Indians who insist on allowing students to take up 12 subjects for SPM examinations.
Hours after Malaysiakini broke the news, the Prime Minister's Department announced through a three-paragraph press statement that Nasir is due to resign over the incident.
The statement added that Nasir's opinions does not reflect those that of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
In another development, Mohd Bakri said police findings on the arson attacks of two surau in Muar, Johor have been submitted to the Attorney-General's Chambers, who will decide on further action.
He said the four suspects in the case are still under remand. They have been held since Jan 23.
