PETALING JAYA: Selangor police is warning Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng (picture) that he will be arrested if he fails to give his statement over remarks on the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock.
The state’s police chief, Assistant Commissioner Khalid Abu Bakar, said a police team, including an investigating officer from Shah Alam, was sent to Penang on Saturday to record Lim’s statement but he refused to co-operate.
Lim is being investigated for allegedly uttering seditious remarks during the Pakatan Rakyat convention of Dec 19 last year. He is alleged to have said that political Teoh was murdered.
DCP Khalid said yesterday: “He demanded for the police report to be given to him first and ultimately no statement was recorded.
“Understanding his position and busy schedule as a chief minister, we made it more convenient for him to have his statement recorded in Penang but he continues to complicate the matter.
“I, too, have to carry out my duty as there is a police report lodged against him, forcing me to issue a notice under Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code to compel him to issue a statement.”
The notice was issued yesterday. He did not specify the deadline for the notice, according reports.
