'Third-party meddling in police' motion shot down

KUALA LUMPUR: An emergency motion on the alleged 'third party' intervention in the police force was shot down by Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker Wan Junaidi Jaafar today.

The motion proposed by Dr Lo' Lo' Ghazali (PAS-Titiwangsa) was rejected by Wan Junaidi in chambers on the grounds that the issue was raised in the house two days ago during question time.

"I don't think it is necessary for the Dewan Rakyat to debate the motion as the matter was already raised on March 23 and the minister involved (Home Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein) had given his explanation," he said, when the PAS leader stood up to protest.

However, Lo' Lo' argued that MPs did not have sufficient time to discuss the matter then.

Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan had recently said that a third party was meddling in police affairs while Hishammuddin claimed to be in the dark about it.

The minister also denied that there is a rift between him and Musa.
