PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang is willing to cooperate with police in an investigation into a speech allegedly containing racial sentiments during the 16th Melaka state election campaign.
His political secretary, Mohd Syahir Che Sulaiman, said this was the third police investigation involving the Marang MP since September.
Syahir said police contacted Hadi yesterday to obtain his statement following an issue raised in a news portal report published last Friday.
‘He has always cooperated with the police. A date will be set soon for Tuan Guru to give his statement to Melaka police,’ he said.
Inspector-General of Police Mohd Khalid Ismail said yesterday that police would summon Hadi to assist in the investigation into the speech, which allegedly contained racial sentiments during the Melaka election campaign.
The case is being investigated under Sections 505 and 298 of the Penal Code.
