Hot Burger Malaysia founder Mohd Asri Hamid or Asri Janggut was seen leaving the Bukit Aman police headquarters at 1pm after having his statement recorded
Mohd Asri’s lawyer Shaharudin Ali said his client was questioned for one and a half hours before they left for Friday prayers
“The statement was recorded by an investigating officer from Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department’s special investigation unit and the session began at 11.10am
“Asri gave his statement over the alleged illegal gambling activities and the sale of contraband cigarettes during the questioning, apart from his claims that most of the police officers did not observe daily prayers,” Shaharudin said when met by reporters at Bukit Aman today
He said Mohd Asri was to be further questioned at 3pm over the same matter
Bernama previously reported that two police reports were lodged against him at Jalan Travers and Jalan Tun Razak police stations two days ago
The case is classified under Section 505(c) of the Penal Code for causing public alarm and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities or service
It was also reported that Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador described claims made by Asri that police officers did not observe their daily prayers as “excessive”
In the same viral video, Mohd Asri allegedly made the same claim against members of the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF)
However, Armed Forces chief Affendi Buang said in a statement that the force had accepted the apology made by Mohd Asri which was published on the social media platform of the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association on Wednesday
