“Investigation into the case of the former MP is being conducted under Section 186 of the Penal Code, that is obstructing a public officer from discharging his duty and Section 500 of the Penal Code for defamation.

“The police also opened an investigation paper under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and Section 504 of the Penal Code for intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace,” he told reporters after the official launching of the Penang Police Contingent’s Ops Selamat 6/2015 in conjunction with the Chinese New Year at the Juru Plaza, northbound, here today.
